a

 number of photons striking the surface per unit time as PλA4πcha2

b

the stopping potential needed to stop the most energetic emitted photo-electrons as hcλW0/λe

c

 photo emission only if λ lies in the range 0λhc/W0

d

Detailed Solution

The number of photons released per unit time is given by
n= Power  energy of photon =P(hc/λ) These photons are spread out in all directions over an area 4πa2. The share of an area A is a fraction  A/4πa2 of total number of photonc emitted '. number of photons striking the surface per unit time =PAλ4πhca2 The maximum energy of the emitted photo-electron is Emax=hcλW0 =1λhcλW0 Further eVs=Emax or Vs=Emaxe=1λehcλW0 where Vs = stopping potential. For photo emission to be possible, we must have hcλW0  or  λhcW0  So, permitted range of values of λ is  0λhc/W0
