The maximum velocities of the photoelectrons ejected are v and 2v for the incident light of wavelength 400 nm and 250 nm on a metal surface respectively. The work function of the metal in terms of Planck's constant h and velocity of light c is

is independent of emitter plate material
is independent of frequency of incident radiation
depends on the frequency of light source and the nature of emitter plate material

When a monochromatic point source of light is at a distance 0.2 m from a photoelectric cell, the saturation current and cut-off voltage are 12.0 mA and 0.5 V. If the same source is placed 0.4 m away from the photoelectric cell, then the saturation current and the stopping potential respectively are

The cut-off voltage or stopping potential measure maximum kinetic energy of the electron. It depends on the frequency of incident light whereas the current depends on the number of photons incident. Hence, cut-off voltage will be 0.5 V. Now by inverse square law,
