Photoemission from a metal surface takes place for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of incident rays. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is $1:K$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

$A$ beam of light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\phi$ placed in a magnetic field $B$. The most energetic electrons, moving perpendicular to the field, are bent in circular arcs of radius $R$. If the experiment is performed for different values of $\lambda$, then the $B^2$ vs. $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ graph will look like (keeping all other quantities constant):

In a photoelectric effect experiment, the frequency of incident radiation is increased while keeping other factors constant $(f > f_0)$. The stopping potential

When a certain metal surface is illuminated with light of frequency $v$,the stopping potential for the photoelectric current is $V_s$. When the same surface is illuminated by a light of frequency $v/2$,the stopping potential is $V_s/4$. The threshold frequency of photoelectric emission is

In a photoelectric experiment,a graph is drawn with stopping potential along $Y$-axis and the frequency of the incident light along $X$-axis. If the graph is a straight line which makes an angle $\theta$ with $Y$-axis,then $\tan \theta=$ ($h$-Planck's constant,$e$-charge of electron).
