Monochromatic radiation of wavelength $640.2 \;nm$ $(1 \;nm = 10^{-9} \;m)$ from a neon lamp irradiates a photosensitive material made of caesium on tungsten. The stopping voltage is measured to be $0.54 \;V$. The source is replaced by an iron source and its $427.2 \;nm$ line irradiates the same photo-cell. Predict the new stopping voltage (in $V$).

$A$ beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity $6.4 \times 10^{-5} \; W/cm^{2}$ is comprised of wavelength $\lambda = 310 \; nm$. It falls normally on a metal surface (work function $\varphi = 2 \; eV$) of surface area $1 \; cm^{2}$. If one in $10^{3}$ photons ejects an electron, the total number of electrons ejected in $1 \; s$ is $10^{x}$. Then $x$ is: $(hc = 1240 \; eV \cdot nm, 1 \; eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \; J)$
