Photons of energy $7 \,eV$ are incident on two metals $A$ and $B$ with work functions $6 \,eV$ and $3 \,eV$,respectively. The minimum de-Broglie wavelengths of the emitted photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energies are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively,where $\lambda_A / \lambda_B$ is nearly

In an experiment on photoelectric emission from a metallic surface,the wavelength of incident light is $2 \times 10^{-7} \,m$ and the stopping potential is $2.5 \,V$. The threshold frequency of the metal (in $Hz$) is approximately (charge of electron $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$,Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,J-s$):

$A$ photon of energy $E$ ejects a photoelectron from a metal surface whose work function is $W_0$. If this electron enters into a uniform magnetic field of induction $B$ in a direction perpendicular to the field and describes a circular path of radius $r$,then the radius $r$ is given by,(in the usual notation)

Why maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron cannot be negative?

The de Broglie wavelength of the most energetic photoelectrons emitted from a photosensitive metal of work function $\phi$,when light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on it,is $\lambda$. Then $\nu =$ (where $h$ is Planck's constant and $m$ is the mass of the electron).

The variation of stopping potential $(V_0)$ as a function of the frequency $\nu \ (\times 10^{14} \ Hz)$ of the incident light for a metal is shown in the figure. The work function of the surface is $........... \ eV$.
