Q20.When radiation of wavelength λ is incident on a metallic surface, the stopping potential of ejected photoelectrons is 4. 8 V . If the same surface is illuminated by radiation of double the previous wavelength, then the stopping potential becomes 1. 6 V . The threshold wavelength of the metal is: (1) 2λ (2) 4λ (3) 8λ (4) 6λ + N acts on a particle. The work done by this force when the particle is moved from
