Monochromatic radiation of wavelength $640.2 \;nm$ $(1 \;nm = 10^{-9} \;m)$ from a neon lamp irradiates a photosensitive material made of caesium on tungsten. The stopping voltage is measured to be $0.54 \;V$. The source is replaced by an iron source and its $427.2 \;nm$ line irradiates the same photo-cell. Predict the new stopping voltage (in $V$).

The threshold frequency of a photosensitive material is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\alpha}$ line of hydrogen. If a photon whose frequency is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\beta}$ line of hydrogen is incident on this photosensitive material,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is ($R$ = Rydberg's constant,$h$ = Planck's constant,and $c$ = speed of light in vacuum).

The stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ plot of a substance is shown in the figure. The threshold wavelength is:

When light of intensity $1 \ W/m^2$ and wavelength $5 \times 10^{-7} \ m$ is incident on a surface, it is completely absorbed. If $100$ photons emit one electron and the surface area is $1 \ cm^2$, what is the photoelectric current?

Sodium and copper have work functions $2.3 \ eV$ and $4.5 \ eV$ respectively. Then the ratio of their threshold wavelengths is nearest to

When a certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential for photoelectric current is $6V_0$. When the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $2V_0$. The threshold wavelength for the photoelectric effect for this surface is:
