When a point source of monochromatic light is at a distance of $0.2 \ m$ from a photoelectric cell,the cut-off voltage and the saturation current are $0.6 \ V$ and $18 \ mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed $0.6 \ m$ away from the photoelectric cell,then:

$A$ beam of photons with an energy of $10.5 \ eV$ strikes a metal plate. The photoelectrons are emitted with a maximum velocity of $1.6 \times 10^6 \ m \ s^{-1}$. The work function of the metal is (Assume mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge of electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$). (in $eV$)

The work function of a material is $4.0 \ eV$. The longest wavelength of light that can cause the emission of photoelectrons from this material is approximately ............ $nm$.

The kinetic energy with which electrons are emitted from a metal surface due to the photoelectric effect is:

When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is
