$A$ mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying the frequency dependence of photoelectric emission,as it provides a number of spectral lines ranging from the $UV$ to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with a rubidium photocell,the following lines from a mercury source were used:
$\lambda_1 = 3650 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_2 = 4047 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_3 = 4358 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_4 = 5461 \,\mathring{A}, \lambda_5 = 6907 \,\mathring{A}$
The stopping voltages,respectively,were measured to be:
$V_{01} = 1.28 \,V, V_{02} = 0.95 \,V, V_{03} = 0.74 \,V, V_{04} = 0.16 \,V, V_{05} = 0 \,V$
Determine the value of Planck's constant $h$,the threshold frequency,and the work function for the material.

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

$A$ photon of energy $8\,eV$ is incident on a metal surface of threshold frequency $1.6 \times 10^{15}\,Hz$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted is .......... $eV$.
(Take $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\,J\cdot s$; $1\,eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\,J$)

The difference between threshold wavelengths for two metal surfaces $A$ and $B$ having work functions $\phi_A = 9 \, eV$ and $\phi_B = 4.5 \, eV$ in $nm$ is: (Given,$hc = 1242 \, eV \, nm$)

All electrons ejected from a metallic surface by incident light of wavelength $400 \,nm$ travelled $1 \,m$ in the direction of a uniform electric field of $2 \,N/C$ and came to rest. The work function of the surface is (in $\,eV$)
