In a photoelectric experiment,ultraviolet light of wavelength $280 \, nm$ is used with a lithium cathode having a work function $\phi = 2.5 \, eV$. If the wavelength of incident light is switched to $400 \, nm$,find out the change in the stopping potential (in $V$).
$(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s, c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s)$

When light of wavelength '$\lambda$' is incident on a photosensitive surface, the stopping potential is '$V$'. When a light of wavelength $1.5\lambda$ is incident on the same surface, the stopping potential is '$\frac{V}{4}$'. Threshold wavelength for the surface is

For intensity $I$ of a light of wavelength $5000 \, Å$, the photoelectron saturation current is $0.40 \, μA$ and the stopping potential is $1.36 \, V$. The work function of the metal is ........... $eV$.

If the frequency of incident radiation $(v)$ is increased,keeping other factors constant,the stopping potential ($v > v_0$,threshold frequency) will:

Two photons having energies twice and thrice the work function of a metal are incident one after another on the metal surface. Then the ratio of maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases is respectively:
