A photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelengths λ and λ/2. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is 3 times that in the first case, the work function of the surface of the material will be:

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

1. $\sqrt{h\nu /\left(2m\right) }$

2. $\sqrt{h\nu /\left(m\right) }$

3. $\sqrt{2h\nu /\left(m\right) }$

4. none of these

The wavelength \(\lambda_{e}\) of an electron and \(\lambda_{p}\) of a photon of the same energy E are related as:

2. ${\lambda }_p\propto {\lambda }_e$ 

3. ${\lambda }_p\propto \sqrt{{\lambda }_e}$

4. ${\lambda }_p\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{{\lambda }_e}}$
