A photoelectric cell is illuminated by a point source of light \(1\) m away. When the source is shifted to \(2\) m then:
1. each emitted electron carries one-quarter of the initial energy.
2. number of electrons emitted is half the initial number.
3. each emitted electron carries half the initial energy.
4. number of electrons emitted is a quarter of the initial number.

Light of wavelength \(3000 ~{\mathring{A}}\) in Photoelectric effect gives electron of maximum kinetic energy \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\). If the wavelength changes to \(2000 ~{\mathring{A}}\) then the maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons will be:
1. less than \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\).
2. \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\).
3. greater than \(0.5 ~\text{eV}\).
4. the photoelectric effect does not occur.
