An electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the second Bohr orbit to the ground state,and the energy difference of the two states is radiated in the form of photons. These photons are then allowed to fall on a metal surface having a work function equal to $4.2 \ eV$. Calculate the stopping potential. [Energy of electron in $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit $= -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \ eV$] (in $V$)

Light of wavelength '$\lambda$' which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with some velocity, then the stopping potential:
