Problem

Electrons in hydrogen like atoms ( Z=3Z = 3 ) make transitions from the fifth to the fourth orbit and from the fourth to the third orbit. The resulting radiations are incident normally on a metal plate and eject photoelectrons. The stopping potential for the photoelectrons ejected by the shorter wavelength is 3.95 volts. Calculate the work-function of the metal and the stopping potential for the photoelectrons ejected by the longer wavelength.
