$A$ photosensitive metallic surface has a work function $h\nu_0$. If photons of energy $2h\nu_0$ fall on this surface,the electrons are emitted with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \, m/s$. When the photon energy is increased to $5h\nu_0$,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons will be:

The work functions for metals $A$, $B$, and $C$ are $1.92 eV$, $2.0 eV$, and $5 eV$ respectively. The metal(s) which will emit photoelectrons for incident radiation of wavelength $4100 Å$ is/are $[h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} J s, e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} C, c=3 \times 10^8 m/s]$.

What is the slope of the $V_0 - \nu$ graph? Write its equation. Also,mention whether it depends on the type of material or not.

$X$-rays of a particular wavelength are used to irradiate sodium and copper surfaces in two separate experiments and stopping potentials are determined. The stopping potentials are

In the experiment of the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential for a given metal is $V_{0}$ volts when radiation of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$ is used. If radiation of wavelength $2\lambda_{0}$ is used for the same metal,then the stopping potential (in volts) will be: [$e=$ charge on electron,$c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant.]
