The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is $E$ when the light incident on the metal has wavelength $\lambda$. To double the kinetic energy,the incident light must have a wavelength of:

If the energy of a photon is $25\, eV$ and the work function of the material is $7\, eV$,then the value of the stopping potential is :-................. $V$

In a photocell circuit,the stopping potential $V_0$ is a measure of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. The following graph shows experimentally measured values of stopping potential versus frequency $\nu$ of incident light. The values of Planck's constant and the work function as determined from the graph are (taking the magnitude of electronic charge to be $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$):

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on the emitter of a photocell,the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons is $V$. If the incident wavelength is changed to $\frac{2\lambda}{3}$,the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons will be:
