When light of frequency $v_{1}$ is incident on a metal with work function $W$ (where $h v_{1} > W$), then the photocurrent falls to zero at a stopping potential of $V_{1}$. If the frequency of light is increased to $v_{2}$, the stopping potential changes to $V_{2}$. Therefore, the charge of an electron $e$ is given by:

The threshold frequency of cesium is $5.16 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$. Then its work function is . . . . . . $eV$.

If the frequency of light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled,the stopping potential will

In a photoelectric effect experiment,the cathode metal is exposed to light of wavelength $600 \ nm$. The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron doubles when light of wavelength $400 \ nm$ is used. The work function of the cathode metal is approximately: [Use $h=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ J-s, c=3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$] (in $eV$)

The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is $E$ when the light incident on the metal has wavelength $\lambda$. To double the kinetic energy,the incident light must have a wavelength of:
