For a metal with a work function of $6.6 \text{eV}$, which of the following wavelengths of incident radiation does not cause the photoelectric effect (in $\text{nm}$)? (Take Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \text{J s}$ and speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 \text{m/s}$)

For a certain metal, when monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident, the stopping potential for photoelectrons is $3V_0$. When the same metal is illuminated by light of wavelength $2\lambda$, then the stopping potential becomes $V_0$. The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission for the given metal is $\alpha\lambda$. The value of $\alpha$ is . . . . . . .

$A$ beam of light falls on a metal surface such that photo-electrons are generated. If the power of the light source starts to decrease linearly with time $t$, then the variation of the photocurrent $I$ and the magnitude of the stopping potential $|V|$ with time is best represented by:

The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a material is $5500\,\mathring A$. Photoelectrons will be emitted when this material is illuminated with monochromatic radiation from a:

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1: n$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is
