Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $f_{1}$ and $f_{2}$ respectively. If the velocities of the photo-electrons emitted are $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ respectively,then:

  • A
    $v_{1}^{2} - v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2h}{m} [f_{1} - f_{2}]$
  • B
    $v_{1}^{2} + v_{2}^{2} = \frac{2h}{m} [f_{1} + f_{2}]$
  • C
    $v_{1} + v_{2} = [\frac{2h}{m} (f_{1} + f_{2})]^{1/2}$
  • D
    $v_{1} - v_{2} = [\frac{2h}{m} (f_{1} - f_{2})]^{1/2}$

The variation of stopping potential $(V_0)$ as a function of the frequency $\nu \ (\times 10^{14} \ Hz)$ of the incident light for a metal is shown in the figure. The work function of the surface is $........... \ eV$.

If the frequency of incident radiation $(v)$ is increased,keeping other factors constant,the stopping potential ($v > v_0$,threshold frequency) will:

The work function of a certain metal is $2.3 \,eV$. If light of wave number $2 \times 10^6 \,m^{-1}$ falls on it,the kinetic energies of the fastest and slowest ejected electrons will be respectively:
