  • A
    For a given frequency of incident radiation,the stopping potential varies linearly with its intensity.
  • B
    For a given frequency of incident radiation,the photocurrent is independent of its intensity.
  • C
    For a given frequency of incident radiation,the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is independent of its intensity.
  • D
    For a frequency lower than the cutoff frequency,photoelectric emissions can occur if the intensity of incident light is increased slightly.

The light of two different frequencies whose photons have energies $3.8 \, eV$ and $1.4 \, eV$ respectively,illuminate a metallic surface whose work function is $0.6 \, eV$ successively. The ratio of maximum speeds of emitted electrons for the two frequencies respectively will be

In the photoelectric experiment,if we use a monochromatic light,the $I - V$ curve is as shown. If the work function of the metal is $2 \, eV$,estimate the power of light used in $W$.
(Assume efficiency of photoemission $= 10^{-3} \%$,i.e.,the number of photoelectrons emitted is $10^{-3} \%$ of the number of photons incident on the metal.)

When a metal is irradiated by light having wavelength $\lambda$ $(\lambda < \lambda_0)$,all the photoelectrons emitted are bent in a circle of radius $r$ by a magnetic field of flux density $B_0$. Find $\frac{1}{\lambda_0}$,where $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.

An image of the sun is formed by a lens of focal length $30 \ cm$ on the metal surface of a photoelectric cell and a photoelectric current $I$ is produced. The lens forming the image is then replaced by another of the same diameter but of focal length $15 \ cm$. The photoelectric current in this case is
