Ultraviolet light of wavelength $200 \ nm$ is incident on a freshly polished surface of iron. The work function of the surface is $4.71 \ eV$. What will be the stopping potential in $eV$? $(h = 6.626 \times 10^{-34} \ Js, 1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s)$

In a photoelectric experiment,ultraviolet light of wavelength $280 \, nm$ is used with a lithium cathode having a work function $\phi = 2.5 \, eV$. If the wavelength of incident light is switched to $400 \, nm$,find out the change in the stopping potential (in $V$).
$(h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, J \cdot s, c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m/s)$

Light emitted during the de-excitation of an electron from $n=3$ to $n=2$ is incident on a metal, and photoelectrons are just emitted from that metal. In which of the following de-excitations is the photoelectric effect $NOT$ possible?

For a given surface,the slope of the graph between the frequency of incident light and the stopping potential is .......

Assertion : In the process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons do not have the same kinetic energy.
Reason : If radiation falling on the photosensitive surface of a metal consists of different wavelengths, then the energy acquired by electrons absorbing photons of different wavelengths shall be different.
