Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1: n$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

When a photon of energy $6 \ eV$ is incident on a metal surface with a work function of $2.1 \ eV$,what is the stopping potential of the emitted electrons in $V$?

Light of wavelength $5000 \; \mathring A$ falls on a sensitive plate with photoelectric work function of $1.9 \; eV$. The kinetic energy of the photoelectron emitted will be ............ $eV$.

If the electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the third Bohr orbit to the ground state directly and the difference between the energies of the two states is radiated in the form of photons. If the work function of the material is $4.1 \text{ eV}$, then the stopping potential is nearly:
$\left[\text{Energy of electron in } n^{\text{th}} \text{ orbit} = \frac{-13.6}{n^2} \text{ eV}\right]$ (in $\text{ V}$)

Let $K_{1}$ and $K_{2}$ be the maximum kinetic energies of photo-electrons emitted when two monochromatic beams of wavelength $\lambda_{1}$ and $\lambda_{2}$,respectively,are incident on a metallic surface. If $\lambda_{1} = 3 \lambda_{2}$,then:
