What is the stopping potential when a metal with a work function of $0.6 \ eV$ is illuminated with light of $2 \ eV$ (in $V$)?

The work function of caesium is $2.14 \ eV$. Find the wavelength of the incident light if the photocurrent is brought to zero by a stopping potential of $0.60 \ V$.

$A$ photosensitive surface made of cesium on tungsten is irradiated by monochromatic radiation of wavelength $640.2 \ nm$ $(1 \ nm = 10^{-9} \ m)$ from a neon bulb. The measured stopping potential is $0.54 \ V$. If the source is replaced by another source and the same photocell is irradiated by a line of $427.2 \ nm$,what will be the new stopping potential in $V$?
