When light is incident on a photosensitive surface,electrons are emitted from the surface. The kinetic energy of these electrons does not depend on:

  • A
    Wavelength of light
  • B
    Frequency of light
  • C
    Nature of the material used for the surface
  • D
    Intensity of light

In a historical experiment to determine Planck's constant, a metal surface was irradiated with light of different wavelengths. The emitted photoelectron energies were measured by applying a stopping potential. The relevant data for the wavelength $(\lambda)$ of incident light and the corresponding stopping potential $(V_0)$ are given below:
$\lambda (\mu m)$$V_0$ (Volt)
$0.3$$2.0$
$0.4$$1.0$
$0.5$$0.4$

Given that $c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$, Planck's constant (in units of $J \ s$) found from such an experiment is:

Which of the following statements is not true about stopping potential $(V_0)$?

When a photosensitive metal surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $V_1$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $3\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V_1}{6}$. The threshold wavelength for the photosensitive metal surface is:

Light strikes a metal surface causing photoelectric emission. The wavelength of incident light is $248 \, nm$. If the stopping potential for the ejected electrons is $2.8 \, eV$, then the work function of the metal is (Take $hc = 1240 \, eV \cdot nm$). (in $ \, eV$)

$A$ stream of photons having energy $3 \,eV$ each impinges on a potassium surface. The work function of potassium is $2.3 \,eV$. The emerging photo-electrons are slowed down by a copper plate placed $5 \,mm$ away. If the potential difference between the two metal plates is $1 \,V$,the maximum distance the electrons can move away from the potassium surface before being turned back is .......... $mm$.
