According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the plot of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope:

  • A
    Is the same for all metals and independent of the intensity of the radiation
  • B
    Depends on the intensity of the radiation
  • C
    Depends both on the intensity of the radiation and the metal used
  • D
    Depends on the nature of the metals used

When a photon of energy $hv$ is incident on an aluminum plate (work function $E_0$),photoelectrons with maximum kinetic energy $K$ are emitted. What will be the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons when a photon of energy $2hv$ is incident on the same aluminum plate?

In the photoelectric effect,if the intensity of light is doubled,then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons will become:

When the work function of a metal increases,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons:

$A$ beam of light of wavelength $400\,nm$ and power $1.55\,mW$ is directed at the cathode of a photoelectric cell. If only $10\%$ of the incident photons effectively produce photoelectrons,then find the current due to these electrons in $\mu A$. (Given: $hc = 1240\,eV\cdot nm$,$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,C$)

When radiation of the wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then,the threshold wavelength for the surface is :
