In the photoelectric effect,when photons of energy $h \nu$ fall on a photosensitive surface (work function $h \nu_0$),electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. It is possible to say that:

For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $E_k$ of the emitted photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $\nu$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the curve gives

$A$ certain metallic surface is illuminated by monochromatic radiation of wavelength $\lambda$. The stopping potential for photoelectric current for this radiation is $3V_{0}$. If the same surface is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_{0}$. The threshold wavelength of this surface for the photoelectric effect is $n\lambda$. Find the value of $n$.
