The work functions of metals $A$ and $B$ are in the ratio $1 : 2$. If light of frequencies $f$ and $2f$ are incident on the surfaces of $A$ and $B$ respectively,the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted will be ($f$ and $2f$ are both frequencies greater than the threshold frequency of metals $A$ and $B$).

  • A
    $1 : 1$
  • B
    $1 : 2$
  • C
    $1 : 3$
  • D
    $1 : 4$

The work function of a photosensitive metal surface is $hv_0$. If a photon of energy $2hv_0$ is incident on this surface,electrons are emitted with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \, m/s$. What will be the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons when the energy of the incident photon is increased to $5hv_0$?

When light falls on a metal surface,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electrons depends upon

From the figure describing the photoelectric effect,we may infer correctly that:

In a photoelectric effect experiment, the frequency of incident radiation is increased while keeping other factors constant $(f > f_0)$. The stopping potential

Ultraviolet light of wavelength $2271 \,\mathring{A}$ from a $100 \; W$ mercury source irradiates a photo-cell made of molybdenum metal. If the stopping potential is $-1.3 \; V$, estimate the work function of the metal. How would the photo-cell respond to a high-intensity $(10^{5} \; W \; m^{-2})$ red light of wavelength $6328 \,\mathring{A}$ produced by a $He-Ne$ laser?
