$A$ silver sphere of radius $1 \ cm$ and work function $4.7 \ eV$ is suspended from an insulating thread in free space. It is under continuous illumination of $200 \ nm$ wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted,the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is $A \times 10^Z$ (where $1 < A < 10$). The value of $Z$ is:

The electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from excited state $(n = 3)$ to its ground state $(n = 1)$ and the photons thus emitted irradiate a photosensitive material. If the work function of the material is $5.1 \, eV$,the stopping potential is estimated to be (the energy of the electron in $n^{th}$ state $E_n = \frac{-13.6}{n^2} \, eV$) (in $, V$)

When a photon of energy $4.0 \; eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy $T_{A} \; eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.50 \; eV$ is $T_{B} = (T_{A} - 1.5) \; eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is $\lambda_{B} = 2 \lambda_{A}$,then the work function of metal $B$ is ............. $eV$.

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the first case is one-fourth that in the second case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant).

The work function of a metallic surface is $5.01\ eV$. Photoelectrons are emitted when light of wavelength $2000\ \mathring{A}$ falls on it. The minimum potential difference required to stop the fastest photoelectrons is ................. $V$.
