Ultraviolet light of wavelength 2271 Å from a 100 W mercury source irradiates a photo-cell made of molybdenum metal. If the stopping potential is -1.3 V , estimate the work function of the metal. How would the photo-cell respond to a high intensity (~10^(5) W m^(2)) red light of wavelength 6328 Å produced by a He-Ne laser ?

Light of wavelength lambda = 400 nm is incident on a photosensitive metal whose work function is 2 eV. The maximum kinetic energy of photo electrons emitted will be

Light of wavelength 488 nm is produced by an argon laser which is used in the photoelectric effect. When light from this spectral line is incident on the emitter, the stopping (cut-off) potential of photoelectrons is 0.38 V. Find the work function of the material from which the emitter is made.

Light of wavelength 2000 Å can just eject electrons from a metal surface. Calculate the work function of the metal.

A source of light is placed at a distance of 1 m from a photo cell and the cut off potential is V_0 . If the source of light is placed at a distance of 50 cm, the cut off potential will be :
