When light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ is incident on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are emitted. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is sufficient for photoemission. What is the ratio of the work functions of the two emitters?

When light of a given wavelength is incident on a metallic surface,the minimum potential needed to stop the emitted photoelectrons is $6.0 \ V$. This potential drops to $0.6 \ V$ if another source with wavelength four times that of the first one and intensity half of the first one is used. What are the wavelength of the first source and the work function of the metal,respectively? $\left[\text{Take } hc = 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ J \ m\right]$

When the light source is kept $20 \ cm$ away from a photo cell,a stopping potential of $0.6 \ V$ is obtained. When the source is kept $40 \ cm$ away,the stopping potential will be .......... $V$.

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on the surface of a metal having work function $\phi$, causing the emission of electrons. What is the maximum velocity of the emitted electrons? (Given: $c = \text{velocity of light}$, $h = \text{Planck's constant}$, $m = \text{mass of electron}$)

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1:$ $A$ metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$ (the threshold frequency). If the incident frequency is now doubled,the photocurrent and the maximum kinetic energy are also doubled.
Statement $2:$ The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface is linearly dependent on the frequency of the incident light. The photocurrent depends only on the intensity of the incident light.
