$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of a given intensity and frequency, causing photoelectric emission. If the intensity of the incident light is reduced to $1/4$ of its original value, what will be the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?

When radiation is incident on a photoelectron emitter,the stopping potential is found to be $9 \ V$. If $e/m$ for the electron is $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C \ kg^{-1}$,the maximum velocity of the ejected electrons is:

Electrons ejected from the surface of a metal,when light of a certain frequency is incident on it,are stopped fully by a retarding potential of $3 \ V$. The photoelectric effect on this metallic surface begins at a frequency of $6 \times 10^{14} \ s^{-1}$. The frequency of the incident light in $s^{-1}$ is: [Planck's constant $= 6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,charge on the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$]
