The graph of stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus the frequency $(f)$ of incident radiation for the photoelectric effect is ..........

The photoelectric threshold wavelength for a certain metal surface is $3300 \,\mathring{A}$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted if radiations of wavelength $1100 \,\mathring{A}$ are used?

In a photoelectric experiment,the stopping potential was measured to be $V_1$ and $V_2$ volts with incident light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ respectively. The value of $V_2$ is: [where $\phi=$ work function,$e=$ electronic charge]

Light of wavelength $488 \;nm$ is produced by an argon laser which is used in the photoelectric effect. When light from this spectral line is incident on the emitter, the stopping (cut-off) potential of photoelectrons is $0.38 \;V$. Find the work function (in $eV$) of the material from which the emitter is made.

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
Assertion $A$ : The photoelectric effect does not take place,if the energy of the incident radiation is less than the work function of a metal.
Reason $R$ : Kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is zero,if the energy of the incident radiation is equal to the work function of a metal.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
