When light of frequency $v_{1}$ is incident on a metal with work function $W$ (where $h v_{1} > W$),then the photocurrent falls to zero at a stopping potential of $V_{1}$. If the frequency of light is increased to $v_{2}$,the stopping potential changes to $V_{2}$. Therefore,the charge of an electron $e$ is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{W(v_{2}+v_{1})}{v_{1} V_{2}+v_{2} V_{1}}$
  • B
    $\frac{W(v_{2}+v_{1})}{v_{1} V_{1}+v_{2} V_{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{W(v_{2}-v_{1})}{v_{1} V_{2}-v_{2} V_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{W(v_{2}-v_{1})}{v_{2} V_{2}-v_{1} V_{1}}$

When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $3\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. The threshold wavelength for the surface is:

Statement $1$: $A$ metal surface is irradiated by monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$. The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency of the incident light is doubled, then $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ will also be doubled. Statement $2$: The stopping potential and maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface depend linearly on the frequency of the incident light.
