1. same
2. four times
3. two times
4. one-fourth

The wavelength of light in the visible region is about \(550~\text{nm}\) (average wavelength) for yellow-green colour. Three materials with work functions are given as \(Al~(4.28~\text{eV}),\) \(Cu~(4.65~\text{eV})\) and \(Na~(2.75~\text{eV}).\) From which of these photosensitive materials can you build a photoelectric device that operates with visible light?
1. \(Al\)
2. \(Cu\)
3. \(Na\)
4. none of the above

A metallic ball (work function: \(2\) eV) is irradiated with light consisting of photons of wavelength \(200\) nm. The ball has an initial charge, giving it a potential \(1\) V. Take the product of Planck's constant and velocity of light, hc as \(1240\) eV-nm. The final potential of the ball, when photoemission practically stops, is: 
1. \(2\)
2. \(3.2\)
3. \(4.2\)
4. \(5.2\) V

A fraction \(f\) of the incident energy in a beam of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) is absorbed by a metallic surface and causes photoemission. If the power of the beam falling on the surface is \(P\), then the maximum photocurrent is:
(\(e\) is electronic charge, \(h\) is Planck's constant, \(c\) is the velocity of light in vacuum)
1. \(\dfrac{\lambda{P}}{h c} f\) 2. \(\dfrac{2\lambda{P}}{h c} f\)
3. \(\dfrac{\lambda{P}}{h c} f e\) 4. \(\dfrac{2\lambda{P}}{h c} f e\)

A source of light is placed at a distance of \(50\) cm from a photocell and the stopping potential is found to be \(V_0\). If the distance between the light source and photocell is made \(25\) cm, the new stopping potential will be: 
1. \(V_0 /2\) 2. \(V_0 \)
3. \(4V_0 \) 4. \(2V_0 \)
