$A$ monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ ejects photoelectrons from a metal surface with work function $\phi = 2.4 \text{ eV}$. These photoelectrons are made to collide with hydrogen atoms in the ground state. The maximum value of $\lambda$ for which the hydrogen atom may be ionized is [take $hc = 1240 \text{ eV-nm}$]. (in $\text{ nm}$)

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the first case is one-fourth that in the second case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant).
