$K_1$ and $K_2$ are the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons emitted from a surface of a given material for light of wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$,respectively. If $\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2$,then the work function of the material is given by:

  • A
    $K_2 + 2K_1$
  • B
    $2K_2 - K_1$
  • C
    $K_1 - 2K_2$
  • D
    $K_2 - 2K_1$

The threshold frequency of a metal is $F_0$. When light of frequency $2F_0$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $V_1$. When the frequency of incident radiation is increased to $5F_0$,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted is $V_2$. The ratio of $V_1$ to $V_2$ is:

Sodium and copper have work functions $2.3 \ eV$ and $4.5 \ eV$ respectively. Then the ratio of their threshold wavelengths is nearest to
