Radiation of monochromatic waves with a wavelength of $400 \ nm$ is incident on the surfaces of $Zn$,$Fe$,and $Ni$ metals,which have work functions of $3.4 \ eV$,$4.8 \ eV$,and $5.9 \ eV$ respectively. (Take $hc = 1242 \ eV \ nm$)
$(a)$ The maximum $KE$ of photoelectrons emitted from any metal surface is $0.3 \ eV$.
$(b)$ No photoelectrons are emitted from the surface of $Ni$.
$(c)$ If the frequency of the radiation source is doubled,the $KE$ of the photoelectrons also doubles.
$(d)$ If the wavelength of the incident radiation is less than $200 \ nm$,photoelectrons will be emitted from the surfaces of all three metals.
The correct statements are:

  • A
    $c, d$
  • B
    $b, d$
  • C
    $b, c, d$
  • D
    $a, c, d$

The beam of light has three wavelengths $4144 \,\mathring A$,$4972 \,\mathring A$,and $6216 \,\mathring A$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \, W/m^2$ equally distributed amongst the three wavelengths. The beam falls normally on an area of $1 \, cm^2$ of a clean metallic surface with a work function of $2.3 \, eV$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each energetically capable photon ejects one electron. Calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated in $2 \, s$.

According to the photoelectric effect,the plot of kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electrons from a metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope

Statement $1$: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $V_0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is $K_{max}$. When $X$-rays are used instead of ultraviolet light, both $V_0$ and $K_{max}$ increase.
Statement $2$: Photoelectrons are emitted with a range of speeds from $0$ to a maximum value because the incident light contains a range of frequencies.

Which of the following statements is not true about stopping potential $(V_0)$?

Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$. If the velocities of the photoelectrons (of mass $m$) coming out are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively,then:
