The work functions for the following metals are given:
$Na: 2.75\;eV; K: 2.30\;eV; Mo: 4.17\;eV; Ni: 5.15\;eV$. Which of these metals will not give photoelectric emission for a radiation of wavelength $3300\,\mathring{A}$ from a $He-Cd$ laser placed $1\;m$ away from the photocell? What happens if the laser is brought nearer and placed $50\;cm$ away?

In a photoelectric experiment,if the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ to $4000 \ \mathring{A}$ while keeping the intensity of radiation constant,then:

Which one of the following graphs correctly represents the variation of maximum kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ of the emitted electrons with frequency $(\nu)$ of incident light in the photoelectric effect?

Light of wavelength $4000 \ \mathring A$ is incident on a photosensitive surface. If a potential of $-2 \ V$ is required to stop the emitted electrons,the work function of the material is: $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s)$ (in $eV$)

When the work function of a metal increases,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons:
