$A$ cobalt $(Co)$ plate is placed at a distance of $1 \,m$ from a point source of power $1 \,W$. Assume a circular area of the plate of radius $r = 1 \,Å$ is exposed to the radiation and ejects photoelectrons. The light energy is considered to be spread uniformly and the work function of cobalt is $5 \,eV$. The minimum time the target should be exposed to the light source to eject a photoelectron (assuming no reflection losses) is: (in $\,s$)

When light of frequency $v_{1}$ is incident on a metal with work function $W$ (where $h v_{1} > W$),then the photocurrent falls to zero at a stopping potential of $V_{1}$. If the frequency of light is increased to $v_{2}$,the stopping potential changes to $V_{2}$. Therefore,the charge of an electron $e$ is given by:

The wavelengths of light incident on a photocell are $400 \ nm$ and $250 \ nm$. The velocities of the emitted photoelectrons are $v$ and $2v$ respectively. What is the work function of the metal?
