If a metal sheet is irradiated with radiations of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ and the kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons are in the ratio $1 : x$, then the threshold frequency of the metal is:

  • A
    $\frac{v_2 - x v_1}{x - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{x v_1 - v_2}{x - 1}$
  • C
    $\frac{v_2 - v_1}{x - 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{v_1 - v_2}{x - 1}$

Maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by a metal is $1.8 \times 10^{6} \ m/s$. Take the value of specific charge of the electron as $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$. Then the stopping potential in volt is

When light of a given wavelength is incident on a metallic surface,the minimum potential needed to stop the emitted photoelectrons is $6.0 \ V$. This potential drops to $0.6 \ V$ if another source with wavelength four times that of the first one and intensity half of the first one is used. What are the wavelength of the first source and the work function of the metal,respectively? $\left[\text{Take } hc = 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ eV \ m\right]$

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the graph between the kinetic energy of photoelectrons ejected and the frequency of incident radiation is

The work functions of metals $A, B$,and $C$ are $1.92 \ eV, 2.0 \ eV$,and $5 \ eV$ respectively. According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,which metal$(s)$ will emit photoelectrons when illuminated by light of wavelength $4100 \ \mathring{A}$?

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