Light of two different frequencies whose photons have energies $1.3 eV$ and $2.8 eV$ respectively,successfully illuminate a metallic surface whose work function is $0.8 eV$. The ratio of maximum speeds of emitted electrons will be

Two streams of photons,possessing energies equal to $5$ and $10$ times the work function of a metal,are incident on the metal surface successively. What is the ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases,respectively?

Given that a photon of light of wavelength $10,000\;\mathring A$ has an energy equal to $1.23\; eV$. When light of wavelength $5000\;\mathring A$ and intensity $I_0$ falls on a photoelectric cell,the saturation current is $0.40 \times 10^{-6}\; A$ and the stopping potential is $1.36\; V$; then the work function is ..... $eV$.
