When radiation of the wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then,the threshold wavelength for the surface is :

  • A
    $2 \lambda$
  • B
    $4 \lambda$
  • C
    $6 \lambda$
  • D
    $8 \lambda$

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

$A$ metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential becomes $\frac{V_0}{4}$. The threshold wavelength for this metallic surface will be -

The stopping potential for photoelectrons:

Two monochromatic light beams $A$ and $B$ of equal intensity are incident normally on a metallic surface per unit area. Their wavelengths are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The incident light is effective in ejecting photoelectrons. The ratio of the number of photoelectrons emitted by beam $A$ to that by beam $B$ is:
