In an experiment on photoelectric emission from a metallic surface,the wavelength of incident light is $2 \times 10^{-7} \,m$ and the stopping potential is $2.5 \,V$. The threshold frequency of the metal (in $Hz$) is approximately (charge of electron $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$,Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,J-s$):

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 maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from a photosensitive material of work function $\phi$,when light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on it,is $E$. If the frequency of the incident light is $3\nu$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is:

Which of the following statements is not true about stopping potential $(V_0)$?

Two monochromatic light beams $A$ and $B$ of equal intensity are incident normally on a metallic surface per unit area. Their wavelengths are $\lambda_A$ and $\lambda_B$ respectively. The incident light is effective in ejecting photoelectrons. The ratio of the number of photoelectrons emitted by beam $A$ to that by beam $B$ is:
