Photons of energy 4 eV are incident on a metal. Maximum velocity of photo electrons emitted is v . When energy of incident radiations is decreased by 50%, velocity is halved, Work function of the metal is

When light incident on a refracting surface, is polarized to a maximum extent, by reflection, then the angle between the reflected and refracted rays is

(a) When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. Explain why? (b) When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. Does the reduction in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave?
