In a photoelectric experiment,the stopping potential was measured to be $V_1$ and $V_2$ volts with incident light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ respectively. The value of $V_2$ is: [where $\phi=$ work function,$e=$ electronic charge]

  • A
    $V_1+\frac{2 \phi}{e}$
  • B
    $2 V_1+\frac{\phi}{e}$
  • C
    $2 V_1-\frac{\phi}{e}$
  • D
    $V_1-\frac{2 \phi}{e}$

When photons of energy $h \nu$ fall on a photosensitive surface of work function $E_0$,photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $k$ are emitted. If the frequency of radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy will be equal to ($h=$ Planck's constant).

When light is incident on a photosensitive surface,electrons are emitted from the surface. The kinetic energy of these electrons does not depend on:

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{4}$. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is:

The work function of a material is $4.0 \ eV$. The longest wavelength of light that can cause the emission of photoelectrons from this material is approximately ............ $nm$.
