In the experiment of the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential for a given metal is $V_{0}$ volts when radiation of wavelength $\lambda_{0}$ is used. If radiation of wavelength $2\lambda_{0}$ is used for the same metal,then the stopping potential (in volts) will be: [$e=$ charge on electron,$c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant.]

$A$ metal has a work function of $2.5 eV$. If radiation of frequency $3.2 \times 10^{15} Hz$ is incident on this metal surface,then the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons is (Planck's constant,$h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} J-s$) (in $eV$)

The work function for a certain metal is $4.2 \; eV$. Will this metal give photoelectric emission for incident radiation of wavelength $330 \; nm$?

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\lambda /2$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $3$ times that in the first case,the work function of the surface of the material is
