The electric field of a light wave is given as $\vec E = 10^{-3} \cos \left( \frac{2\pi x}{5 \times 10^{-7}} - 2\pi \times 6 \times 10^{14} t \right) \hat x \, N/C$. This light falls on a metal plate with a work function of $2 \, eV$. The stopping potential of the photoelectrons is ................ $V$.

The work functions for metals $A$, $B$, and $C$ are $1.92 eV$, $2.0 eV$, and $5 eV$ respectively. The metal(s) which will emit photoelectrons for incident radiation of wavelength $4100 Å$ is/are $[h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} J s, e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} C, c=3 \times 10^8 m/s]$.

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ incidents on a photosensitive material,photoelectrons are emitted. If the wavelength of the incident light is reduced by $50 \%$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons becomes $3$ times the initial maximum kinetic energy. The work function of the material is ($h$ - Planck's constant,$c$ - Speed of light in vacuum).

In a photoelectric experiment for $4000 \, \mathring{A}$ incident radiation,the potential difference to stop the ejection is $2 \, V$. If the incident light is changed to $3000 \, \mathring{A}$,then the potential required to stop the ejection of electrons will be

In a photoelectric experiment,ultraviolet light of wavelength $280 \, nm$ is used with a lithium cathode having a work function $\phi = 2.5 \, eV$. If the wavelength of incident light is switched to $400 \, nm$,find out the change in the stopping potential (in $V$).
$(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s, c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s)$
