    $2.1 \times 10^{-19}$
  • B
    $8.5 \times 10^{-19}$
  • C
    $5.3 \times 10^{-19}$

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: The figure shows the variation of stopping potential $(V_0)$ with frequency $(v)$ for two photosensitive materials $M_1$ and $M_2$. The slope gives the value of $\frac{h}{e}$,where $h$ is Planck's constant and $e$ is the charge of an electron.
Statement-$II$: $M_2$ will emit photoelectrons of greater kinetic energy for incident radiation having the same frequency.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

For the photoelectric effect,which of the following statements are true?
$I$ The kinetic energies of the photoelectrons do not depend on the frequency of light.
$II$ The photoelectric effect will always occur for highly intense light.
$III$ The maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron does not depend upon the intensity of the light.
$IV$ The escaping electron's kinetic energy is larger for a larger frequency.

$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of a given intensity and frequency to cause photoemission. If the intensity of illumination is reduced to one-fourth of its original value, then the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons would become

When light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are just liberated. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is just sufficient for liberating photoelectrons. The ratio of the work function of the two emitters is
