$A$ point source of light is used in a photoelectric effect. If the source is moved farther from the emitting metal, the stopping potential:

  • A
    will increase
  • B
    will decrease
  • C
    will remain constant
  • D
    will either increase or decrease

Let $v$ be the frequency of the incident photon and $v_0$ be the threshold frequency. The condition for the emission of photoelectrons is:

$A$ photon released by the transition of an electron from the second excited state to the ground state of a Hydrogen atom is incident on the surface of a metal with a work function of $3.1 \ eV$. The de Broglie wavelength of the most energetic electron emitted from that metal surface is nearly:

The maximum velocity of photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface is $1.2 \times 10^6 \ m/s$. If the specific charge of the electron is $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$,then the value of the stopping potential in volts is:

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

In a photoelectric effect experiment,the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is $K_0$. If the frequency of the incident radiation is increased by a factor of $n_1$,the new maximum kinetic energy becomes $n_2K_0$. Find the work function of the metal.
