    $\frac{v^2 e}{m}$
  • B
    $\frac{v^2 m}{2 e}$
  • C

Monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on an isolated metal sphere of radius $a$. The threshold wavelength is $\lambda_0$,which is greater than $\lambda$. How many photoelectrons will be emitted before the emission of photoelectrons stops?

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 $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,J-s$):

In a photoelectric effect experiment,if the frequency of light is doubled,the stopping potential will

The light rays having photons of energy $4.2\,eV$ are falling on a metal surface having a work function of $2.2\,eV$. The stopping potential of the surface is $.........\,V$.

When a photosensitive surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V/3$. The threshold wavelength for the surface is:
