Electrons are emitted with zero velocity from a metal surface when it is exposed to radiation of wavelength $8000 \ \mathring{A}$. What should be the maximum velocity of emitted electron when the same metal surface is exposed to radiation of wavelength $5000 \ \mathring{A}$? $\left( h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s, \ m_e = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \ kg, \ c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s \right)$
