$A$ beam of light of wavelength $400\,nm$ and power $1.55\,mW$ is directed at the cathode of a photoelectric cell. If only $10\%$ of the incident photons effectively produce photoelectrons,then find the current due to these electrons in $\mu A$. (Given: $hc = 1240\,eV\cdot nm$,$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$)

In the photoelectric effect, the stopping potential depends on:

When a metal is irradiated by light having wavelength $\lambda$ $(\lambda < \lambda_0)$,all the photoelectrons emitted are bent in a circle of radius $r$ by a magnetic field of flux density $B_0$. Find $\frac{1}{\lambda_0}$,where $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.

$A$ metal surface having work function '$W_{0}$' emits photoelectrons when photons of energy '$E$' are incident on it. The electron enters a uniform magnetic field '$B$' in a perpendicular direction and moves in a circular path of radius '$r$'. Then '$r$' is equal to (where '$m$' and '$e$' are the mass and charge of the electron,respectively).

The ratio of work functions of two metals $A$ and $B$ is $1:2$. If radiations of frequencies $f$ and $2f$ are incident on the surfaces of $A$ and $B$ respectively,the ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons will be: (Given $f >$ threshold frequency of $A$ and $2f >$ threshold frequency of $B$)
