When a certain metal surface is illuminated with light of frequency $v$,the stopping potential for the photoelectric current is $V_s$. When the same surface is illuminated by a light of frequency $v/2$,the stopping potential is $V_s/4$. The threshold frequency of photoelectric emission is

  • A
    $4v/3$
  • B
    $5v/3$
  • C
    $v/3$
  • D
    $v/5$

For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph gives:

$A$ photon of energy $E$ ejects a photoelectron from a metal surface whose work function is $W_0$. If this electron enters into a uniform magnetic field of induction $B$ in a direction perpendicular to the field and describes a circular path of radius $r$,then the radius $r$ is given by,(in the usual notation)

Sodium and copper have work functions $2.3 \ eV$ and $4.5 \ eV$ respectively. Then the ratio of their threshold wavelengths is nearest to

$A$ silver sphere of radius $1 \ cm$ and work function $4.7 \ eV$ is suspended from an insulating thread in free space. It is under continuous illumination of $200 \ nm$ wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted,the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is $A \times 10^Z$ (where $1 < A < 10$). The value of $Z$ is:
