$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $(\lambda / 3)$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $4$ times that in the first case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ speed of light).

The maximum velocity of an electron emitted by light of wavelength $\lambda$ incident on the surface of a metal of work function $\phi$ is [$h=$ Planck's constant,$m=$ mass of electron and $c=$ speed of light]

Consider the following statements regarding the photoelectric effect experiment:
$(I)$ Photoelectrons are emitted as soon as the metal is exposed to light.
$(II)$ There is a minimum frequency below which no photocurrent is observed.
$(III)$ The stopping potential is proportional to the frequency of light.
$(IV)$ The photocurrent varies linearly with the intensity of the light.
Which of the above statements indicate that light consists of quanta (photons) with energy proportional to frequency?

$A$ photon incident on a metal of work function $2 \text{ eV}$ produces photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy of $2 \text{ eV}$. The wavelength associated with the photon is: (in $\text{ Å}$)

$A$ copper ball of radius $1\, cm$ and work function $4.47\, eV$ is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation of wavelength $2500\, \mathring{A}$. The effect of irradiation results in the emission of electrons from the ball. Further,the ball will acquire charge,and due to this,there will be a finite value of the potential on the ball. The charge acquired by the ball is:
