When monochromatic radiation of intensity I falls on a metal surface, the number of photoelectrons and their maximum kinetic energy are N and T respectively. If the intensity of radiation is 2I, the number of emitted electrons and their maximum kinetic energy are respectively:

1. 2N and T

2. 2N and 2T

3. N and T

4. N and 2T

In the phenomenon of electric discharge through gases at low pressure, the colored glow in the tube appears as a result of:
1. excitation of electrons in the atoms
2. a collision between the atoms of the gas
3. collisions between the charged particles emitted from the
cathode and the atoms of the gas
4. a collision between different electrons of the atoms of the gas

A \(5~\text W\) emits monochromatic light of wavelength \(5000~\mathring{A}.\) When placed \(0.5~\text m\) away, it liberates photoelectrons from a photosensitive metallic surface. When the source is moved \(1.0~\text m\) away, the number of photoelectrons liberated is reduced by a factor of:
1. \(4\)
2. \(8\)
3. \(16\)
4. \(2\)
