Threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a metal surface is 3800Å , Utraviolet light of wave-length 2600Å is incident on the metal surface. maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron. (h = 6.63 xx 10^(-27) " erg.s")

Light rays of wavelength lambda and lambda/2 are incident on a a photosensitive metal surface, IF the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons from the metal surface in 2nd case be 3 times the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons in the 1st case then determine the work function of the metal.

When the energy of the incident radiation is increased by 20%, the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increased from 0.5eV to 0.8eV. The work function of the metal is

Einstein's equation for photoelectric effect is E_("max") = hf - W_(0) , where h = Planck's constant = 6.625 xx 10^(-34) J.s, f = frequency of light incident on metal surface, W_(0) = work function of metal and E_("max") = maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons. It is evident that if the frequency f is less than a minimum value f_(0) or if the wavelength lamda is greater than a maximum value lamda_(0) , the value of E_("max") would be negative, which is impossible. Thus for a particular metal surface f_(0) is the threshold frequency and lamda_(0) is the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emssion to take place. Again if the collector plate is ketp at a negative potential with respect to the emitter plate, the velocity of the photoelectrons would decrease. The minimum potential for which the velocity of the speediest electron becoes zero, is known as the stopping potential, the photoelectric effect stops for a potential lower than this. [velocity of light = 3xx 10^(8) m.s^(-1) , mass of an electron m = 9.1 xx 10^(-31) kg , charge of an electron, e = 1.6 xx 10^(-19)C The threshold wavelength of photoelectric effect for a metal surface is 4600 Å . Work function of the metal (in eV) is

When the light of frequency 2v_(0) (where v_(0) is threshold frequency) is incident on a metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is v_(01) . When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5 v_(0) , the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is v_(2) . The ratio of v_(1) to v_(2) is
