When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface,the stopping potential is $V$. When light of wavelength $3 \lambda$ is incident on the same surface,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

  • A
    $2 \lambda$
  • B
    $3 \lambda$
  • C
    $4 \lambda$
  • D
    $5 \lambda$

$A$ monochromatic point source of light is placed at a distance $d$ from a metal surface. Photoelectrons are ejected at a rate $n$ per second,and with maximum kinetic energy $E$. If the source is brought nearer to a distance $d / 2$,the rate and the maximum kinetic energy per photoelectron become nearly

The threshold frequency of a metal is $f_0$. When light of frequency $2f_0$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5f_0$,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is:
