Answer the following questions:
$(a)$ Quarks inside protons and neutrons are thought to carry fractional charges $[(+2/3)e, (-1/3)e]$. Why do they not show up in Millikan's oil-drop experiment?
$(b)$ What is so special about the combination $e/m$? Why do we not simply talk of $e$ and $m$ separately?
$(c)$ Why should gases be insulators at ordinary pressures and start conducting at very low pressures?
$(d)$ Every metal has a definite work function. Why do all photoelectrons not come out with the same energy if incident radiation is monochromatic? Why is there an energy distribution of photoelectrons?
$(e)$ The energy and momentum of an electron are related to the frequency and wavelength of the associated matter wave by the relations:
$E = h\nu, p = \frac{h}{\lambda}$
But while the value of $\lambda$ is physically significant,the value of $\nu$ (and therefore,the value of the phase speed $\nu\lambda$) has no physical significance. Why?

In the photoelectric effect:
$A.$ The photocurrent is proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.
$B.$ The maximum kinetic energy with which photoelectrons are emitted depends on the intensity of incident light.
$C.$ The maximum kinetic energy with which photoelectrons are emitted depends on the frequency of incident light.
$D.$ The emission of photoelectrons requires a minimum threshold intensity of incident radiation.
$E.$ The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is independent of the frequency of the incident light.
