When light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are just liberated. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is just sufficient for liberating photoelectrons. The ratio of the work function of the two emitters is

Photoelectric emission occurs only when the incident light has more than a certain minimum

$A$ silver sphere of radius $1 \ cm$ and work function $4.7 \ eV$ is suspended from an insulating thread in free space. It is under continuous illumination of $200 \ nm$ wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted,the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is $A \times 10^Z$ (where $1 < A < 10$). The value of $Z$ is:

When a photon of energy $hv$ is incident on an aluminum plate with a work function $E_0$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $K$. If the frequency of the incident radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons will be .......
