When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface,the stopping potential is $V$. When light of wavelength $3 \lambda$ is incident on the same surface,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

  • A
    $2 \lambda$
  • B
    $3 \lambda$
  • C
    $4 \lambda$
  • D
    $5 \lambda$

When light is incident on a photosensitive surface,electrons are emitted from the surface. The kinetic energy of these electrons does not depend on:

Photons with energy $5\, eV$ are incident on a cathode $C$ in a photoelectric cell. The maximum energy of emitted photoelectrons is $2\, eV.$ When photons of energy $6\, eV$ are incident on $C,$ no photoelectrons will reach the anode $A,$ if the stopping potential of $A$ relative to $C$ is ............ $V$.

Monochromatic light of frequency $f$ is incident on an emitter having threshold frequency $f_0$. The maximum kinetic energy of the ejected electron will be

$A$ photon of energy $hv$ is absorbed by a free electron of a metal having work function $\phi < hv$.

$A$ beam of light has two wavelengths of $4972\,\mathring{A}$ and $6216\,\mathring{A}$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times 10^{-3}\,\text{W/m}^2$ equally distributed among the two wavelengths. The beam falls normally on an area of $1\,\text{cm}^2$ of a clean metallic surface of work function $2.3\,\text{eV}$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each capable photon ejects one electron. The number of photoelectrons liberated in $2\,\text{s}$ is approximately:
