Show graphically how the stopping potential for a given photosensitive surface varies with the frequency of the incident radiation.

The maximum kinetic energy of electrons emitted in the photoelectric effect is linearly dependent on the________________ of the incident radiation.

When light of a given wavelength is incident on a metallic surface, the minimum potential needed to stop the emitted photoelectrons is $6.0 \mathrm{V}$. This potential drops to $0.6 \mathrm{V}$ if another source with wavelength four times that of the first one and intensity half of the first one is used. What are the wavelength of the first source and the work function of the metal, respectively? [Take$\frac{hc}{e}=1.24\times {10}^{-6} \mathrm{J} {\mathrm{mC}}^{-1}$ .]
