Light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on the surface of a metal having work function $\phi$, causing the emission of electrons. What is the maximum velocity of the emitted electrons? (Given: $c = \text{velocity of light}$, $h = \text{Planck's constant}$, $m = \text{mass of electron}$)

$A$ photoelectric cell is connected to a source of variable potential difference. The photoelectric current is plotted against the applied potential difference. The graph with the broken line represents the current for a given frequency and intensity of the incident radiation. If the frequency is increased and the intensity is reduced, which curve now represents the situation?

When the energy of incident radiation is increased by $20 \%$,the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increases from $0.5 \ eV$ to $0.8 \ eV$. The work function of the metal is (in $eV$)

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 :
