When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photoelectric cell,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is $\upsilon$. If the wavelength of the incident radiation is changed to $3\lambda / 4$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons will be ..........

  • A
    $\upsilon {\left( {\frac{3}{4}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • B
    $\upsilon {\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • C
    $ < \,\,\upsilon \,{\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$
  • D
    $ > \,\,\upsilon \,{\left( {\frac{4}{3}} \right)^{\frac{1}{2}}}$

The energy of a photon with wavelength $\lambda$ is $2 \ eV$. When it strikes a metal surface,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is $v$. If the value of $\lambda$ is decreased by $25\%$ and the maximum velocity is doubled,the work function of the metal becomes ...... $eV$.

Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $n_1$ and $n_2$. If the velocities of the emitted photoelectrons of mass $m$ are $V_1$ and $V_2$ respectively,then ($h=$ Planck's constant):

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ Emission of electrons in photoelectric effect can be suppressed by applying a sufficiently negative electric potential to the photoemissive substance.
Reason $(R) :$ $A$ negative electric potential, which stops the emission of electrons from the surface of a photoemissive substance, varies linearly with frequency of incident radiation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
