Ultraviolet light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $1.0 \ W/m^2$ is incident on the surface of a photosensitive material. If $1\%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,the number of photoelectrons emitted from an area of $1.0 \ cm^2$ of the surface is:

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light rays $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

$A$ photon of energy $3.4 \ eV$ is incident on a metal having work function $2 \ eV$. The maximum kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of photo-electrons is equal to ........... $eV$. (in $eV$)

Light of wavelength $4000 \,\mathring A$ falls on a photosensitive metal and a negative $2 \,V$ potential stops the emitted electrons. The work function of the material (in $eV$) is approximately $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,Js, \,e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C, \,c = 3 \times 10^8 \,m/s)$.

The maximum wavelength of light which causes photoelectric emission from a photosensitive metal surface is $\lambda_0$. Two light beams of wavelengths $\frac{\lambda_0}{3}$ and $\frac{\lambda_0}{9}$ are incident on the metal surface. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the emitted photoelectrons is
