Light of wavelength $488 \;nm$ is produced by an argon laser which is used in the photoelectric effect. When light from this spectral line is incident on the emitter, the stopping (cut-off) potential of photoelectrons is $0.38 \;V$. Find the work function (in $eV$) of the material from which the emitter is made.

Let $v_1$ and $v_2$ be the maximum velocities of the emitted electrons when the surface of a metal is illuminated with light waves of energy $E_1 = 4 \text{ eV}$ and $E_2 = 2.5 \text{ eV}$,respectively. If the work function of the metal is $2 \text{ eV}$,then the ratio $\frac{v_1}{v_2}$ is
