When ultraviolet radiation of a certain frequency falls on a potassium target,the photoelectrons released can be stopped completely by a retarding potential of $0.6 \, V$. If the frequency of the radiation is increased by $10 \%$,this stopping potential rises to $0.9 \, V$. The work function of potassium is ........ $eV$.

Electrons ejected from the surface of a metal,when light of a certain frequency is incident on it,are stopped fully by a retarding potential of $3 \ V$. The photoelectric effect on this metallic surface begins at a frequency of $6 \times 10^{14} \ s^{-1}$. The frequency of the incident light in $s^{-1}$ is: [Planck's constant $= 6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,charge on the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$]
