The stopping potential for photoelectrons from a metal surface is $V_{1}$ when monochromatic light of frequency $v_{1}$ is incident on it. The stopping potential becomes $V_{2}$ when monochromatic light of another frequency is incident on the same metal surface. If $h$ is the Planck's constant and $e$ is the charge of an electron, then the frequency of light in the second case is

  • A
    $v_{1}-\frac{e}{h}(V_{2}+V_{1})$
  • B
    $v_{1}+\frac{e}{h}(V_{2}+V_{1})$
  • C
    $v_{1}-\frac{e}{h}(V_{2}-V_{1})$
  • D
    $v_{1}+\frac{e}{h}(V_{2}-V_{1})$

Which of the following graphs shows the correct variation of maximum kinetic energy $(E)$ of photoelectrons with the intensity of incident radiation $(I)$?

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light rays $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is:

$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $400 \ nm$. The kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is found to be $1.68 \ eV$. The work function of the metal is ......... $eV$. $(hc = 1240 \ eV \cdot nm)$
