$A$ monochromatic point source of light is placed at a distance $d$ from a metal surface. Photoelectrons are ejected at a rate $n$ per second,and with maximum kinetic energy $E$. If the source is brought nearer to a distance $d / 2$,the rate and the maximum kinetic energy per photoelectron become nearly

If the threshold wavelength of light for photoelectric emission to take place from a metal surface is $6250 \ \text{Å}$, then the work function of the metal is (Planck's constant $= 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{Js}$) (in $\text{eV}$)

In a photoelectric experiment,if the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ to $4000 \ \mathring{A}$ while keeping the intensity of radiation constant,then:

When a certain metal surface is illuminated with light of frequency $v$,the stopping potential for photoelectric current is $V_0$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of frequency $\frac{v}{2}$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V_0}{4}$,the threshold frequency of photoelectric emission is

In the photoelectric effect,if the intensity of light is doubled,then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons will become:
