For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph gives:

  • A
    Ratio of Planck's constant to electric charge
  • B
    Work function of the metal
  • C
    Charge of electron
  • D
    Planck's constant

An image of the sun is formed by a lens of focal length $30 \ cm$ on the metal surface of a photoelectric cell and a photoelectric current $I$ is produced. The lens forming the image is then replaced by another of the same diameter but of focal length $15 \ cm$. The photoelectric current in this case is

If the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons in the photoelectric effect is $3.2 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$ and the work function for the metal is $6.63 \times 10^{-19} \text{ J}$,then the stopping potential and threshold wavelength respectively are:
[Planck's constant $h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J} \cdot \text{s}$]
[Velocity of light $c = 3 \times 10^{8} \text{ m/s}$]
