Two streams of photons,possessing energies equal to twice and ten times the work function of a metal,are incident on the metal surface successively. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two respective cases is $x:y$. The value of $x$ is ...... .

$A$ light of wavelength $\lambda$ and intensity $I$ falls on a photosensitive material. If $N$ photoelectrons are emitted,each with kinetic energy $E$,then:

In an experiment of photoelectric effect,the stopping potential was measured to be $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ with incident light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ respectively. The relation between $V_{1}$ and $V_{2}$ is:

The variation of stopping potential $V_{0}$ with frequency $\nu$ of incident radiation for a given photosensitive material is a straight line [frequency $\nu$ of incident radiation is greater than threshold frequency $\nu_{0}$]. The slope of this line is . . . . . . .
