In the photoelectric effect, an electromagnetic wave is incident on a metal surface and electrons are ejected from the surface. If the work function of the metal is $2.14 \text{ eV}$ and the stopping potential is $2 \text{ V}$, what is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave (in $\text{ nm}$)? (Given $hc = 1242 \text{ eV nm}$, where $h$ is Planck's constant and $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum.)
