The stopping potential for a source of wavelength $4000\, \mathring{A}$,when kept at a distance of $10\, \text{cm}$,is $1.5\, \text{V}$. If now the distance of the source is increased to $20\, \text{cm}$,then the stopping potential will be ............... $\text{V}$.

Two photons having energies twice and thrice the work function of a metal are incident one after another on the metal surface. Then the ratio of maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases is respectively:

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:

$A$ beam of light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\phi$ placed in a magnetic field $B$. The most energetic electrons, moving perpendicular to the field, are bent in circular arcs of radius $R$. If the experiment is performed for different values of $\lambda$, then the $B^2$ vs. $\frac{1}{\lambda}$ graph will look like (keeping all other quantities constant):

Two light waves of wavelengths $600 \,nm$ and $200 \,nm$ are incident on a metal surface. The maximum velocity of photoelectrons produced due to one wavelength is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons produced due to the other wavelength. The work function of the metal is:
