Photoelectrons are ejected from a metal when light of frequency $v$ falls on it. Pick out the wrong statement from the following:

  • A
    No electrons are emitted if $v$ is less than $W/h$,where $W$ is the work function of the metal.
  • B
    The ejection of the photoelectrons is instantaneous.
  • C
    The maximum energy of the photoelectrons is $hv$.
  • D
    The maximum energy of the photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of the light.

Find the correct statement$(s)$ about the photoelectric effect.

If the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted by a source placed at a distance of $0.2 \ m$ from a photocell is $0.6 \ V$,then the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted by the same source placed at a distance of $0.6 \ m$ from the photocell will be .......... $V$.

The maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by the metal surface is $V$. The charge and mass of the photoelectron are denoted by $e$ and $m$ respectively. The stopping potential in volts is:

When light is incident on a photosensitive surface,electrons are emitted from the surface. The kinetic energy of these electrons does not depend on:

At an incident radiation frequency of $v_1$,which is greater than the threshold frequency,the stopping potential for a certain metal is $V_1$. At frequency $2 v_1$,the stopping potential is $3 V_1$. If the stopping potential at frequency $4 v_1$ is $n V_1$,then $n$ is
