The work function of a surface of a photosensitive material is $6.2\, eV$. The wavelength of the incident radiation for which the stopping potential is $5\, V$ lies in the

Assertion : In the process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons do not have the same kinetic energy.
Reason : If radiation falling on the photosensitive surface of a metal consists of different wavelengths, then the energy acquired by electrons absorbing photons of different wavelengths shall be different.

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{4}$. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is:

The electric field of a light wave is given as $\vec E = 10^{-3} \cos \left( \frac{2\pi x}{5 \times 10^{-7}} - 2\pi \times 6 \times 10^{14} t \right) \hat x \, N/C$. This light falls on a metal plate with a work function of $2 \, eV$. The stopping potential of the photoelectrons is ................ $V$.

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface,the stopping potential is $V$. When light of wavelength $3 \lambda$ is incident on the same surface,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is:
