In the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ curve is plotted. ($h$ is Planck's constant and $\phi_0$ is the work function of the metal)
$(A)$ $V_0$ versus $\nu$ is linear.
$(B)$ The slope of the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ curve $= \frac{\phi_0}{h}$.
$(C)$ Planck's constant $h$ is related to the slope of the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ line.
$(D)$ The value of the electric charge of an electron is not required to determine $h$ using the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ curve.
$(E)$ The work function can be estimated without knowing the value of $h$.

When a photon of energy $4.25 \, eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have a maximum kinetic energy $T_A \, eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength ${\lambda _A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.70 \, eV$ is $T_B = (T_A - 1.50) \, eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is ${\lambda _B} = 2{\lambda _A}$,then:

Maximum velocity of photoelectrons emitted by a metal surface is $1.2 \times 10^6\, m/s$. Assuming the specific charge of the electron to be $1.8 \times 10^{11}\, C/kg$,the value of the stopping potential in volt will be

The work-function of a metal is $1 eV$. Light of wavelength $3000 \text{Å}$ is incident on this metal surface. The velocity of emitted photoelectrons will be

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? $\left[\text{Take } hc = 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ eV \ m\right]$

$A$ 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 $V$?
