The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons depends only on

The threshold wavelength for silver is 3800overset@ A . Calculate maximum kinetic energy in eV of photoelectrons emitted when ultraviolet light of wavelength 2600overset@ A falls on it. Also calculate stopping potential ( 1 eV = 1.6 xx 10^-19 J , Planck's constant = h = 6.63 xx 10^-34 Js , speed of light in vacuum = 3 xx 10^8 m//s ).

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

Assertion: If the maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted by a photo cell is 5 eV, then the stopping potential is 5 V. Reason: Stopping potential for fastest photoelectrons is numerically equal to their kinetic energy.
