The work functions for tungsten and sodium are $4.5 \text{ eV}$ and $2.3 \text{ eV}$ respectively. If the threshold wavelength $\lambda_0$ for sodium is $5460 \text{ \AA}$, the value of $\lambda_0$ for tungsten is ............ $\text{ \AA}$.

For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph gives:

$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of two different wavelengths $248 \ nm$ and $310 \ nm$. The maximum speeds of the photoelectrons corresponding to these wavelengths are $u_1$ and $u_2$,respectively. If the ratio $u_1: u_2 = 2: 1$ and $hc = 1240 \ eV \ nm$,the work function of the metal is nearly: (in $eV$)
