The de Broglie wavelength of the most energetic photoelectrons emitted from a photosensitive metal of work function $\phi$,when light of frequency $\nu$ is incident on it,is $\lambda$. Then $\nu =$ (where $h$ is Planck's constant and $m$ is the mass of the electron).

  • A
    $\frac{2 \phi}{h} - \frac{h}{m \lambda^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{2 \phi}{h} + \frac{h}{m \lambda^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{\phi}{h} + \frac{h}{2 m \lambda^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\phi}{h} - \frac{h}{2 m \lambda^2}$

When a photosensitive metal surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $V_1$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $3\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V_1}{6}$. The threshold wavelength for the photosensitive metal surface is:

$A$ silver ball of radius $4.8 \ cm$ is suspended by a thread in a vacuum chamber. $UV$ light of wavelength $200 \ nm$ is incident on the ball for some time,during which a total energy of $1 \times 10^{-7} \ J$ falls on the surface. Assuming that on average one out of $10^3$ incident photons is able to eject an electron,the potential on the sphere will be ............ $V$.
