The work functions of Caesium $(Cs)$, Potassium $(K)$, and Sodium $(Na)$ are $2.14 \ eV$, $2.30 \ eV$, and $2.75 \ eV$ respectively. If incident electromagnetic radiation has an incident energy of $2.41 \ eV$, which of these photosensitive surfaces may emit photoelectrons?

The curve between the work function of a metal $(\phi_o)$ and its temperature $(T)$ will be:

Photoelectrons from a metal do not come out with the same energy. The most appropriate explanation is:

The figure represents the graph of photoelectric current $I$ versus applied voltage $(V)$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is

Two metallic plates $A$ and $B$,each of area $5 \times 10^{-4} \, m^2$,are placed parallel to each other at a separation of $1 \, cm$. Plate $B$ carries a positive charge of $33.7 \, pC$. $A$ monochromatic beam of light,with photons of energy $5 \, eV$ each,starts falling on plate $A$ at $t = 0$,so that $10^{16}$ photons fall on it per square meter per second. Assume that one photoelectron is emitted for every $10^6$ incident photons. Also assume that all the emitted photoelectrons are collected by plate $B$ and the work function of plate $A$ remains constant at $2 \, eV$. The electric field between the plates at the end of $10 \, seconds$ is:
