What determines the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons?

When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is V_(0) and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is K_(max) . When X-rays are incident on the same cell, then:

if e/m of electron is 1.76xx10^(11)C(kg)^(-1) andn stopping potential is 0.71 V, then the maximum velocity of the photoelectron is

Relation between electric potential (V) and Intensity (E)

If in a photoelectric experiment, the stopping potential is 1.5 volts, what is the maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectrons?

How is the stopping potential in volt related to the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons in electron volt?

Photons of energy 2.0eV fall on a metal plate and release photoelectrons with a maximum velocity V . By decreasing lambda and 25% the maximum velocity of photoelectrons is doubled. The work function of the metal of the material plate in eV is nearly

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.

For a certain metal , v is five times the v_(0) and the maximum velocity of coming out photo electrons is 8 xx 10^(8) If v = 2_(v_(0)) , the maximum velocity of photo electrons will be .
