Light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on a substance of threshold frequency $\nu_0$ (where $\nu_0 < \nu$). The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electron will be:

  • A
    $h(\nu - \nu_0)$
  • B
    $h/\nu$
  • C
    $he(\nu - \nu_0)$
  • D
    $h/\nu_0$

Light of wavelength $488 \;nm$ is produced by an argon laser which is used in the photoelectric effect. When light from this spectral line is incident on the emitter, the stopping (cut-off) potential of photoelectrons is $0.38 \;V$. Find the work function (in $eV$) of the material from which the emitter is made.

In the case of the photoelectric effect, on increasing the frequency of incident light:

In a photoelectric experiment for $4000 \, \mathring{A}$ incident radiation,the potential difference to stop the ejection is $2 \, V$. If the incident light is changed to $3000 \, \mathring{A}$,then the potential required to stop the ejection of electrons will be
