When a certain photosensitive surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of frequency $v$,the stopping potential for the photocurrent is $-V_0/2$. When the surface is illuminated by monochromatic light of frequency $v/2$,the stopping potential is $-V_0$. The threshold frequency for photoelectric emission is

  • A
    $5v/3$
  • B
    $4v/3$
  • C
    $2v$
  • D
    $3v/2$

$A$ metal surface having work function '$W_{0}$' emits photoelectrons when photons of energy '$E$' are incident on it. The electron enters a uniform magnetic field '$B$' in a perpendicular direction and moves in a circular path of radius '$r$'. Then '$r$' is equal to (where '$m$' and '$e$' are the mass and charge of the electron,respectively).

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 $B$).
