The graph of maximum kinetic energy $(K.E._{max})$ against the frequency $(\nu)$ of incident light is as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph and the intercept on the $X$-axis respectively are:

Radiation of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $100 \ W \ m^{-2}$ falls on the surface of a photosensitive material. If $2 \%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,the number of photoelectrons emitted from an area of $2 \ cm^2$ of the surface per second is nearly:

With reference to the observations in photoelectric effect,identify the correct statements from below:
$A.$ The square of maximum velocity of photoelectrons varies linearly with frequency of incident light.
$B.$ The value of saturation current increases on moving the source of light away from the metal surface.
$C.$ The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons decreases on decreasing the power of $LED$ (light emitting diode) source of light.
$D.$ The immediate emission of photoelectrons out of metal surface can not be explained by particle nature of light/electromagnetic waves.
$E.$ Existence of threshold wavelength can not be explained by wave nature of light/electromagnetic waves.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

$A$ photon of wavelength $3315 \ \text{Å}$ falls on a photocathode and an electron of energy $3 \times 10^{-19} \ \text{J}$ is ejected. The threshold wavelength of the photon is [Planck's constant $(h)$ $= 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{J-s}$, velocity of light $(c)$ $= 3 \times 10^{8} \ \text{m/s}$]. (in $\text{Å}$)

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
