When a photon of energy $4.0 \; eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy $T_{A} \; eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.50 \; eV$ is $T_{B} = (T_{A} - 1.5) \; eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is $\lambda_{B} = 2 \lambda_{A}$,then the work function of metal $B$ is ............. $eV$.

The stopping potential for photoelectrons:

In an experiment to study the photoelectric effect,the observed variation of stopping potential $(V_0)$ with the frequency $(\nu)$ of incident radiation is as shown in the figure. The slope and $y$-intercept are 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 $B$)
