$A$ certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$. The stopping potential for the photoelectric current for this light is $3V_0$. If the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. The threshold wavelength for this surface for the photoelectric effect is:

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:

$A$ photon released by the transition of an electron from the second excited state to the ground state of a Hydrogen atom is incident on the surface of a metal with a work function of $3.1 \ eV$. The de Broglie wavelength of the most energetic electron emitted from that metal surface is nearly:

The difference between threshold wavelengths for two metal surfaces $A$ and $B$ having work functions $\phi_A = 9 \, eV$ and $\phi_B = 4.5 \, eV$ in $nm$ is: (Given,$hc = 1242 \, eV \, nm$)

The figure represents a graph of the maximum kinetic energy $(K)$ of photoelectrons (in $eV$) versus the frequency $(\nu)$ of incident radiation for a metal used as a cathode in a photoelectric experiment. The work function of the metal is ............. $eV$.
