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:

In a photocell circuit,the stopping potential $V_0$ is a measure of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. The following graph shows experimentally measured values of stopping potential versus frequency $\nu$ of incident light. The values of Planck's constant and the work function as determined from the graph are (taking the magnitude of electronic charge to be $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$):

The threshold frequency of a metal with work function $6.63 \ eV$ is:

In a photoelectric effect experiment,the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is $K_0$. If the frequency of the incident radiation is increased by a factor of $n_1$,the new maximum kinetic energy becomes $n_2K_0$. Find the work function of the metal.

When light of frequency twice the threshold frequency is incident on a metal plate,the maximum velocity of the emitted electron is $v_{1}$. When the frequency of incident radiation is increased to five times the threshold value,the maximum velocity of the emitted electron becomes $v_{2}$. If $v_{2} = x v_{1}$,the value of $x$ will be...........
