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.

Consider a beam of electrons (each electron with energy \(E_0\)) incident on a metal surface kept in an evacuated chamber. Then:

1. no electrons will be emitted as only photons can emit electrons.
2. electrons can be emitted but all with energy, \(E_0\).
3. electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum of \(\mathrm{E}_0-\phi\) (\(\phi\) is the work function).
4. electrons can be emitted with any energy, with a maximum \(E_0\).
