The stopping potential $V_0$ for photoelectric emission from a metal surface is plotted along the $Y-$ axis and the frequency $\nu$ of incident light along the $X-$ axis. $A$ straight line is obtained as shown. Planck's constant $h$ is given by:

  • A
    Slope of the line
  • B
    Product of the slope of the line and the charge on the electron
  • C
    Product of the intercept along the $Y-$ axis and the mass of the electron
  • D
    Product of the slope and the mass of the electron

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $(\lambda/3)$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $4$ times that in the first case, the work function of the surface of the material is ($h$ = Planck's constant, $c$ = speed of light).

Radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photocell. The fastest emitted electron has speed $v$. If the wavelength is changed to $\frac{3\lambda}{4}$,the speed of the fastest emitted electron will be:

In a photoelectric experiment,a monochromatic light is incident on the emitter plate $E$,as shown in the figure. When switch $S_1$ is closed and switch $S_2$ is open,the photoelectrons strike the collector plate $C$ with a maximum kinetic energy of $1 eV$. If switch $S_1$ is open and switch $S_2$ is closed and the frequency of the incident light is doubled,the photoelectrons strike the collector plate with a maximum kinetic energy of $20 eV$. The threshold wavelength of the emitter plate is (in $Å$)

When a metal is irradiated by light having wavelength $\lambda$ $(\lambda < \lambda_0)$,all the photoelectrons emitted are bent in a circle of radius $r$ by a magnetic field of flux density $B_0$. Find $\frac{1}{\lambda_0}$,where $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.
