In a photoelectric effect experiment,$f$ is the frequency of radiations incident on the metal surface and $I$ is the intensity of the incident radiations. Consider the following statements. Which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ If $f$ is increased keeping $I$ and work function constant,then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron increases.
$(B)$ If the distance between the cathode and anode is increased,the stopping potential increases.
$(C)$ If $I$ is increased keeping $f$ and work function constant,then the stopping potential remains the same and the saturation current increases.
$(D)$ If the work function is decreased keeping $f$ and $I$ constant,then the stopping potential increases.

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $200 \ nm$ is incident on a freshly polished surface of iron. The work function of the surface is $4.71 \ eV$. What will be the stopping potential in $eV$? $(h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ Js, 1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s)$

The stopping potential $(V_s)$ as a function of the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident radiation is plotted for two different photoelectric surfaces $A$ and $B$. The graphs show that the work function of $A$ is

When radiation is incident on a photoelectron emitter,the stopping potential is found to be $9 \ V$. If $e/m$ for the electron is $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C \ kg^{-1}$,the maximum velocity of the ejected electrons is:

$A$ photon of $5.5 \ eV$ energy falls on the surface of a metal,emitting photoelectrons with a maximum kinetic energy of $4.0 \ eV$. The stopping voltage required for these electrons is .......... $V$.
