The wavelength of light in the visible region is about \(550\) nm (average wavelength) for yellow-green colour. Three materials with work functions are given as Al (\(4.28\) eV), Cu (\(4.65\) eV) and Na (\(2.75\) 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 vaccum):
1. \(\frac{\lambda{P}}{h c} f\)
2. \(\frac{2\lambda{P}}{h c} f\)
3. \(\frac{\lambda{P}}{h c} f e\)
4. \(\frac{2\lambda{P}}{h c} f e\)

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. \(2V_0 \)
