Statement $1$: $A$ metal surface is irradiated by monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$. The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency of the incident light is doubled, then $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ will also be doubled. Statement $2$: The stopping potential and maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface depend linearly on the frequency of the incident light.

The photoelectric threshold frequency of a metal is $v$. When light of frequency $4v$ is incident on the metal,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is

The work function of a substance is $4.0 \,eV$. The longest wavelength of light that can cause photoelectron emission from this substance is approximately ......... $nm$.

The threshold frequency for a photosensitive metal is $3.3 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}$. If light of frequency $8.20 \times 10^{14} \text{ Hz}$ is incident on this metal,the cut-off voltage for the photoelectron emission is nearly ............ $V$.

When radiations of wavelength $\lambda$ are incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential required is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiations of double the wavelength,the required stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. The value of the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

In the photoelectric experiment,if we use a monochromatic light,the $I - V$ curve is as shown. If the work function of the metal is $2 \, eV$,estimate the power of light used in $W$.
