When light of frequency $v$ is incident on a metal,photoelectrons are emitted. This is because...

  • A
    The maximum energy of photoelectrons depends on the intensity of light.
  • B
    The maximum energy of photoelectrons is constant.
  • C
    If $v$ is less than $W/h$,no electrons are emitted,where $W$ is the work function of the metal.
  • D
    The emission of photoelectrons is instantaneous.

When a light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are emitted. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is just sufficient for liberating photoelectrons. The ratio of the work function of the two emitters is

$A$ light source of wavelength $\lambda$ illuminates a metal surface and electrons are ejected with maximum kinetic energy of $2 \ \text{eV}$. If the same surface is illuminated by a light source of wavelength $\frac{\lambda}{2}$, then the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons will be (The work function of the metal is $1 \ \text{eV}$). (in $\text{eV}$)

The maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons in a photoelectric effect does not depend upon

In the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ curve is plotted. ($h$ is Planck's constant and $\phi_0$ is the work function of the metal)
$(A)$ $V_0$ versus $\nu$ is linear.
$(B)$ The slope of the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ curve $= \frac{\phi_0}{h}$.
