The work functions of tungsten and sodium are $5.06 \ eV$ and $2.53 \ eV$ respectively. If the threshold wavelength for sodium is $5896 \ \mathring{A}$,then the threshold wavelength for tungsten will be .......... $\mathring{A}$.

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $1.0 \ W/m^2$ falls on the surface of a photosensitive material. If $1\%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,then the number of photoelectrons emitted from an area of $1.0 \ cm^2$ of the surface is nearly

From a metallic surface,photoelectric emission is observed for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ $(v_1 > v_2)$ of the incident light. The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1:x$. Hence,the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

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