An electron and a proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with an initial kinetic energy of $3 \, eV$. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in the second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal with a threshold wavelength of $4000 \, Å$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron? (In $eV$)

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1: n$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

Photoelectrons are emitted with maximum velocity $v$ when light of frequency $3f$ is incident on a photosensitive material of work function $2hf$. If the frequency of the incident light is $4.25f$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is ($h$ = Planck's constant).

Light of frequency $7.21 \times 10^{14} \; Hz$ is incident on a metal surface. Electrons with a maximum speed of $6.0 \times 10^{5} \; m/s$ are ejected from the surface. What is the threshold frequency for photoemission of electrons?

$A$ point source of light emits photons of energy $4.8 eV$ at the rate $10^5$ photons per second. These photons are incident on a photo-sensitive sphere of work function $2.8 eV$ and radius $9 mm$. The sphere is initially neutral and the emitted photoelectrons are instantly swept away. The time after which the photoelectric emission stops is (in $s$)
