The photoelectric emission from a surface starts only when the light incident upon the surface has certain minimum:

in an experimental set up to study the photoelectric effect a point soure fo light of power 3.2xx10^(-3) W was taken. The source can emit monoenergetic photons of energy 5eV and is located at a distance of 0.8 m from the centre of a stationary metallic sphere of work-function 3.0 eV. The radius of the sphere is r = 8..10^(-3) m. The efficiency of photoelectric emission is one for every 10^6 incident photons. Based on the information given above answer the questions given below. (Assume that the sphere is isolated and photoelectrons are instantly swepts away after the emission). Time after which photoelectric emission stops is

Assertion : Photoelectric current depends on the intensity of incident light. Reason : Number of photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to intensity of incident radiation.

In an experiment on photoelectric effect the frequency f of the incident light is plotted against the stopping potential V_(0) . The work function of the photoelectric surface is given by ( e is the electronic charge)

In a photoelectric emission process the maximum energy of the photo - electrons increase with increasing intensity of the incident light .

In a photoelectric experiment the wavelength of incident light changes from 4000 Å to 2000 Å. The change in stopping potential is

In a photoelectric experiment, the wavelength of the incident light is decreased from 6000A to 4000A . While the intensity of radiations remains the same,

When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. (hv-phi) is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron (where phi is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tuve. Wavelength of charasteristic X-ray depends on the atomic number. Q. If potential difference across the tube is increased then

In a photoelectric experiment, if both the intensity and frequency of the incident light are doubled, then the saturation photoelectric current

For photoelectric emission from certain metal the cut - off frequency is v . If radiation of frequency 2 v incident on the metal plate , the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electron will be ( m is the electron mass).
