What is the threshold frequency of a metal with a work function of $1.65 \ eV$?

$A$ photosensitive surface made of cesium on tungsten is irradiated by monochromatic radiation of wavelength $640.2 \ nm$ $(1 \ nm = 10^{-9} \ m)$ from a neon bulb. The measured stopping potential is $0.54 \ V$. If the source is replaced by another source and the same photocell is irradiated by a line of $427.2 \ nm$,what will be the new stopping potential in $V$?

The graph of stopping potential $V_s$ against frequency $\nu$ of incident radiation is plotted for two different metals $X$ and $Y$ as shown in the graph. If $\phi_x$ and $\phi_y$ are the work functions of $X$ and $Y$,respectively,then:

Light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on a substance of threshold frequency $\nu_0$ (where $\nu_0 < \nu$). The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electron will be:

An electron and a proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with an initial kinetic energy of $3 \, eV$. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in the second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal with a threshold wavelength of $4000 \, Å$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron? (In $eV$)
