When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is

The photoelectric threshold wavelength for a certain metal surface is $3300 \,\mathring{A}$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted if radiations of wavelength $1100 \,\mathring{A}$ are used?

When the wavelength of an incident photon is decreased, then:

Radiation $p$ with wavelength $6561 \; \mathring{A}$ falls on a metal surface to produce photoelectrons. The electrons are made to enter a uniform magnetic field of $3 \times 10^{-4} \; T$. If the radius of the largest circular path followed by the electrons is $10 \; mm$,the work function of the metal is close to ............... $eV$.
