If intensity of radiation falling on metal surface is doubled, what happens to K.E. of electron emitted?

Light of frequency 1.5 times the threshold frequency is incident on a photo-sensitive material. If the frequency is halved and the intensity is doubled, the photoelectric current becomes

Light of wavelength A which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with same velocity, then stopping potential will

The threshold frequency for a certain metal for photoelectric effect is 1.7 xx 10^15 Hz .When light of frequency 2.2 xx 10^15 Hz is incident on the metal surface, the kinetic energy of the emitted. photoelectrons is 3.3 xx 10^-19 J .Calculate Planck's constant.

The slope of frequency of incident light and stopping potential for a given surface will be

Assertion: If the intensity of incident radiation on a metal is doubled, then K.E. of photoelectrons emitted will be doubled. Reason: K.E.=1/2mv^2=h(v-v_0), where v is the velocity of photo electrons.
