Monochromatic radiation emitted when an electron in a hydrogen atom jumps from the first excited state to the ground state irradiates a photosensitive material. The stopping potential is measured to be $3.57 \; V$. The threshold frequency of the material is ......... $\times 10^{15} \; Hz$.

When a piece of metal is illuminated by a monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $3 V_{s}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential becomes $V_{s}$. The value of the threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission is:

In the experiment of $P.E.E.$,the $KE_{max}$ of an electron is $K_0$. If the frequency is increased by a factor of $n_1$,then the $KE_{max}$ becomes $n_2K_0$. Find the work function.
