When light of a given wavelength is incident on a metallic surface,the minimum potential needed to stop the emitted photoelectrons is $6.0 \ V$. This potential drops to $0.6 \ V$ if another source with wavelength four times that of the first one and intensity half of the first one is used. What are the wavelength of the first source and the work function of the metal,respectively? $\left[\text{Take } hc = 1.24 \times 10^{-6} \ eV \ m\right]$

If the frequency of incident light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled,then the stopping potential will

If the work function for a certain metal is $3.2 \times 10^{-19} \ J$ and it is illuminated with light of frequency $8 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$,the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons would be in joule:

In a photoemission experiment,the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons from metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $E_P, E_Q$ and $E_R$,respectively,and they are related by $E_P = 2E_Q = 2E_R$. In this experiment,the same source of monochromatic light is used for metals $P$ and $Q$,while a different source of monochromatic light is used for metal $R$. The work functions for metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $4.0 \ eV$,$4.5 \ eV$ and $5.5 \ eV$,respectively. The energy of the incident photon used for metal $R$,in $eV$,is:

When photons of energy $hf$ fall on an aluminium plate (of work function $E_0$),photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $K$ are ejected. If the frequency of radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy of the ejected photoelectrons will be:
