$A$ beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity $6.4 \times 10^{-5} \; W/cm^{2}$ is comprised of wavelength $\lambda = 310 \; nm$. It falls normally on a metal surface (work function $\varphi = 2 \; eV$) of surface area $1 \; cm^{2}$. If one in $10^{3}$ photons ejects an electron, the total number of electrons ejected in $1 \; s$ is $10^{x}$. Then $x$ is: $(hc = 1240 \; eV \cdot nm, 1 \; eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; J)$

When a piece of metal is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $3 V_{s}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential becomes $V_{s}$. The value of the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission is:

$A$ photon of energy $3.4 \ eV$ is incident on a metal having work function $2 \ eV$. The maximum kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of photo-electrons is equal to ........... $eV$. (in $eV$)
