    $2.48 \,eV, 0.18 \,eV$
  • B
    $0.18 \,eV, 0$
  • C
    $2.30 \,eV, 0.18 \,eV$

When the energy of the incident radiation is increased by $20\%$,the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increases from $0.5\, eV$ to $0.8\, eV$. The work function of the metal is ............. $eV$.

When light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are just liberated. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is just sufficient for liberating photoelectrons. The ratio of the work function of the two emitters is

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light rays $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is:

The work function of a metal is $3 \ eV$. The color of the visible light that is required to cause emission of photoelectrons is

Assertion : Photosensitivity of a metal is high if its work function is small.
Reason : Work function $= hf_0$ where $f_0$ is the threshold frequency.
