$A$ light source is placed at a distance of $20 \ cm$ from a photocell,and the measured stopping potential is $0.6 \ V$. If the distance of the source is changed to $40 \ cm$,what will be the stopping potential in $V$?

$A$ light source of wavelength $\lambda$ illuminates a metal surface and electrons are ejected with maximum kinetic energy of $2 \ \text{eV}$. If the same surface is illuminated by a light source of wavelength $\frac{\lambda}{2}$, then the maximum kinetic energy of ejected electrons will be (The work function of the metal is $1 \ \text{eV}$). (in $\text{eV}$)

When light of wavelength $300 \ nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are just liberated. For another emitter,light of wavelength $600 \ nm$ is just sufficient for liberating photoelectrons. The ratio of the work function of the two emitters is
