The stopping potential $({V_0})$:

Statement $1$: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $V_0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is $K_{max}$. When $X$-rays are used instead of ultraviolet light, both $V_0$ and $K_{max}$ increase.
Statement $2$: Photoelectrons are emitted with a range of speeds from $0$ to a maximum value because the incident light contains a range of frequencies.

The longest wavelength of light that can initiate the photoelectric effect in a metal with a work function of $9 \ eV$ is:

For a certain metal, when monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident, the stopping potential for photoelectrons is $3V_0$. When the same metal is illuminated by light of wavelength $2\lambda$, then the stopping potential becomes $V_0$. The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission for the given metal is $\alpha\lambda$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

When light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ is incident on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are emitted. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is sufficient for photoemission. What is the ratio of the work functions of the two emitters?
