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. \(2\)

The stopping potential for photoelectrons:

1. does not depend on the frequency of the incident light.
2. does not depend upon the nature of the cathode material.
3. depends on both the frequency of the incident light and the nature of the cathode material.
4. depends upon the intensity of the incident light.

A photocell is receiving light from a source placed at a distance of \(1\) m. If the same source is placed at a distance of \(2\) m, then the ejected electron:
1. moves with one-fourth of energy as that of the initial energy.
2. moves with one-fourth of momentum as that of the initial momentum.
3. will be half in number.
4. will be one-fourth in number.
