When a metal is irradiated by light having wavelength $\lambda$ $(\lambda < \lambda_0)$,all the photoelectrons emitted are bent in a circle of radius $r$ by a magnetic field of flux density $B_0$. Find $\frac{1}{\lambda_0}$,where $\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{B_0^2 e^2 r^2}{2mhc}$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} + \frac{B_0^2 e^2 r^2}{2mhc}$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{\lambda_0} = \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{B_0^2 e^2 r^2}{mhc}$
  • D
    None of these

In the experiment of $P.E.E.$ (Photoelectric Effect), the saturation current is $5\,mA$ and the stopping potential is $10\,V$. If the intensity and frequency of the incident light are both doubled, then what will be the new saturation current $(i_s)$ and stopping potential $(V_s)$?

Light of frequency $4v_0$ is incident on a metal surface with a threshold frequency $v_0$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is:

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1:$ $A$ metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$ (the threshold frequency). If the incident frequency is now doubled,the photocurrent and the maximum kinetic energy are also doubled.
Statement $2:$ The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface is linearly dependent on the frequency of the incident light. The photocurrent depends only on the intensity of the incident light.

Let $K_1$ be the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a light of wavelength $\lambda_1$ and $K_2$ corresponding to $\lambda_2$. If $\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2$,then:
