In an experiment with the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential:

  • A
    increases with an increase in the wavelength of the incident light
  • B
    increases with an increase in the intensity of the incident light
  • C
    is $\left(\frac{1}{e}\right)$ times the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons
  • D
    decreases with an increase in the intensity of the incident light

The photoelectric threshold wavelength for potassium (work function being $2 \ eV$) is ........... $nm$.

$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths $248 \ nm$ and $310 \ nm$. The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths are $u_1$ and $u_2$,respectively. If the ratio $u_1: u_2 = 2: 1$ and $hc = 1240 \ eV \ nm$,the work function of the metal is nearly: (in $eV$)

An electron and a proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with an initial kinetic energy of $3 \, eV$. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in the second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal with a threshold wavelength of $4000 \, Å$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron? (In $eV$)

$A$ monochromatic point source of light is placed at a distance $d$ from a metal surface. Photoelectrons are ejected at a rate $n$ per second,and with maximum kinetic energy $E$. If the source is brought nearer to a distance $d / 2$,the rate and the maximum kinetic energy per photoelectron become nearly

The magnetic field associated with a light wave is given,at the origin,by $B = B_0 [\sin(3.14 \times 10^7 ct) + \sin(6.28 \times 10^7 ct)]$. If this light falls on a silver plate having a work function of $4.7 \ eV$,what will be the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons? (in $eV$)
