For two different photosensitive materials having work functions $\phi$ and $2 \phi$ respectively,which are illuminated with light of sufficient energy to emit electrons,if the graph of stopping potential $(V_s)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ is drawn for these two materials,what is the ratio of the slopes of the graphs for these two materials?

  • A
    $1: 1$
  • B
    $1: 2$
  • C

The figure shows the variation of photocurrent with anode potential for four different radiations. Let $f_a$,$f_b$,$f_c$ and $f_d$ be the frequencies for the curves $a$,$b$,$c$ and $d$ respectively.

The electric field at the point associated with a light wave is given by $E = 200 [\sin(6 \times 10^{15} t) + \sin(9 \times 10^{15} t)] \, Vm^{-1}$. Given $h = 4.14 \times 10^{-15} \, eVs$. If this light falls on a metal surface having a work function of $2.50 \, eV$,the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons will be ........... $eV$.

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\lambda /2$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $3$ times that in the first case,the work function of the surface of the material is

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with the same velocity,then stopping potential will:

The surface of a metal is first illuminated with a light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and later illuminated by another light of wavelength $500 \ nm$. It is observed that the ratio of maximum velocities of photoelectrons in the two cases is $3$. The work function of the metal is close to: (in $eV$)
