Choose the correct option.

It was found that certain metals like Zinc, Cadmium, Magnesium, etc. are photosensitive only to ultraviolet light. However, some alkali metals such as Lithium, Sodium, and Potassium, were photosensitive even to visible light. If ultraviolet light of the same frequency and the same intensity is incident on Zinc and Sodium metal, then which of the following quantities may be the same?
  • (a)Kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted by the two metals.
  • (b)Photoelectric current flowing through the two metals.
  • (c)Stopping potential.
  • (d)The potential energy of the photoelectrons emitted by the two metals.

Derive the following.

The graphs below show the variation of the stopping potential $V_S$ with the frequency ($\nu$) of the incident radiations for two different photosensitive materials $M_1$ and $M_2$. Express work function for $M_1$ and $M_2$ in terms of Planck’s constant ($h$) and Threshold frequency and charge of the electron ($e$). If the values of stopping potential for $M_1$ and $M_2$ are $V_1$ and $V_2$ respectively then show that the slope of the lines equals to $\frac{V_1 - V_2}{\nu_{01} - \nu_{02}}$ for a frequency, $\nu > \nu_{02}$ and also $\nu > \nu_{01}$.

To show: \frac{V_1 - V_2}{\nu_{01} - \nu_{02}}
