In a photoelectric effect experiment,the graph of stopping potential $V$ versus the reciprocal of wavelength $(1/\lambda)$ is shown in the figure. As the intensity of incident radiation is increased:

  • A
    Slope of the straight line becomes steeper.
  • B
    Straight line shifts to the left.
  • C
    Graph does not change.
  • D
    Straight line shifts to the right.

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,a student plots the stopping potential $V_0$ against the reciprocal of the wavelength $1/\lambda$ of the incident light for two different metals $A$ and $B$. These are shown in the figure. Looking at the graphs,you can most appropriately say that:

In a photoelectric experiment for $4000 \, \mathring{A}$ incident radiation,the potential difference to stop the ejection is $2 \, V$. If the incident light is changed to $3000 \, \mathring{A}$,then the potential required to stop the ejection of electrons will be

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $(\lambda/3)$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $4$ times that in the first case, the work function of the surface of the material is ($h$ = Planck's constant, $c$ = speed of light).
