When a point source of light is at a distance of $1 \ m$ from a photocell,the cut-off voltage is found to be $V$. If the same source is placed at $2 \ m$ distance from the photocell,the cut-off voltage will be

  • A
    $V$
  • B
    $V/2$
  • C
    $V/4$
  • D
    $V/\sqrt{2}$

$A$ photosensitive metallic surface is illuminated alternately with lights of wavelength $3100 \mathring A$ and $6200 \mathring A$. It is observed that the maximum speeds of the photoelectrons in the two cases are in the ratio $2:1$. The work function of the metal is $(hc = 12400 \, eV \mathring A)$.

If the frequency of light falling on a photosensitive material doubles, which of the following is true?

Two streams of photons,possessing energies equal to $5$ and $10$ times the work function of a metal,are incident on the metal surface successively. What is the ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases,respectively?

For a photoelectric cell,the graph showing the variation of stopping potential $(V_o)$ with frequency $(\nu)$ of incident light is best represented by:

The work functions of metals $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $1 : 2$. If light of frequencies $f$ and $2f$ are incident on the surfaces of $A$ and $B$ respectively,the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted will be ($f$ and $2f$ are both frequencies greater than the threshold frequency of metals $A$ and $B$).
