The maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted from the surface is $v$ when light of frequency $n$ falls on a metal surface. If the incident frequency is increased to $3n$,the maximum velocity of the ejected photoelectrons will be:

  • A
    less than $\sqrt{3} v$
  • B
    $v$
  • C
    more than $\sqrt{3} v$
  • D
    equal to $\sqrt{3} v$

In a photoelectric effect experiment,$f$ is the frequency of radiations incident on the metal surface and $I$ is the intensity of the incident radiations. Consider the following statements. Which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ If $f$ is increased keeping $I$ and work function constant,then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron increases.
$(B)$ If the distance between the cathode and anode is increased,the stopping potential increases.
$(C)$ If $I$ is increased keeping $f$ and work function constant,then the stopping potential remains the same and the saturation current increases.
$(D)$ If the work function is decreased keeping $f$ and $I$ constant,then the stopping potential increases.

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $2271 \,\mathring{A}$ from a $100 \; W$ mercury source irradiates a photo-cell made of molybdenum metal. If the stopping potential is $-1.3 \; V$, estimate the work function of the metal. How would the photo-cell respond to a high-intensity $(10^{5} \; W \; m^{-2})$ red light of wavelength $6328 \,\mathring{A}$ produced by a $He-Ne$ laser?
