The work functions for metals $A, B$,and $C$ are $1.92 \ eV, 2.0 \ eV$,and $5 \ eV$ respectively. According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,which metal$(s)$ will emit photoelectrons when irradiated with light of wavelength $4100 \ \mathring A$?

For two different photosensitive materials having work functions $\phi$ and $2 \phi$ respectively,which are illuminated with light of sufficient energy to emit electrons,if the graph of stopping potential $(V_s)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ is drawn for these two materials,what is the ratio of the slopes of the graphs for these two materials?

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$. Photoelectric effect will take place only if ($\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength).

The stopping potential as a function of frequency of incident radiation is plotted for two different photoelectric surfaces $A$ and $B$. The graph shows that the work function of $A$ is
