In a photoelectric experiment,electrons are ejected from metals $X$ and $Y$ by light of intensity $I$ and frequency $f$. The potential difference $V$ required to stop the electrons is measured for various frequencies. If $Y$ has a greater work function than $X$,which one of the following graphs best illustrates the expected results?

Two monochromatic light beams $A$ and $B$ of equal intensity are incident normally on a metallic surface per unit area. Their wavelengths are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The incident light is effective in ejecting photoelectrons. The ratio of the number of photoelectrons emitted by beam $A$ to that by beam $B$ is:

When a metal is irradiated by light having wavelength $\lambda$ $(\lambda < \lambda_0)$,all the photoelectrons emitted are bent in a circle of radius $r$ by a magnetic field of flux density $B_0$. Find $\frac{1}{\lambda_0}$,where $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.
