Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$. If the velocities of the photoelectrons (of mass $m$) coming out are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $v_1 - v_2 = \left[ \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2) \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • B
    $v_1^2 - v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2)$
  • C
    $v_1 + v_2 = \left[ \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2) \right]^{\frac{1}{2}}$
  • D
    $v_1^2 + v_2^2 = \frac{2h}{m}(v_1 - v_2)$

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the graph of the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons versus the frequency of incident radiation is a straight line. Its slope . . . . . .

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 ............. $eV$.

If the frequency of incident radiation $(v)$ is increased,keeping other factors constant,the stopping potential ($v > v_0$,threshold frequency) will:
