Two light waves of wavelengths $600 \,nm$ and $200 \,nm$ are incident on a metal surface. The maximum velocity of photoelectrons produced due to one wavelength is $\frac{1}{3}$ of the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons produced due to the other wavelength. The work function of the metal is:

  • A
    $\frac{hc}{8} \times 10^7 \,J$
  • B
    $\frac{8}{hc} \times 10^7 \,J$
  • C
    $\frac{hc}{4} \times 10^7 \,J$
  • D
    $\frac{hc}{9} \times 10^7 \,J$

When a light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on the emitter of a photocell,the maximum speed of emitted photoelectrons is $V$. If the incident wavelength is changed to $2\lambda / 3$,the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons will be:

In the graph given below,if the slope is $4.12 \times 10^{-15} \ V-sec$,then the value of $h$ should be:

The work function of a metal is $1.6 \ eV$. What is the maximum wavelength of light in $\mathring{A}$ that can cause photoelectric emission from this metal? $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s, 1 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J)$

In the photoelectric experiment,if we use a monochromatic light,the $I - V$ curve is as shown. If the work function of the metal is $2 \, eV$,estimate the power of light used in $W$.
(Assume efficiency of photoemission $= 10^{-3} \%$,i.e.,the number of photoelectrons emitted is $10^{-3} \%$ of the number of photons incident on the metal.)

$A$ monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ ejects photoelectrons from a metal surface with work function $\phi = 2.4 \text{ eV}$. These photoelectrons are made to collide with hydrogen atoms in the ground state. The maximum value of $\lambda$ for which the hydrogen atom may be ionized is [take $hc = 1240 \text{ eV-nm}$].
