Problem

When a surface is irradiated with light of wavelength 4950 A˚4950 \text{ \AA} , a photocurrent appears which vanishes if a retarding potential greater than 0.6 volt is applied across the phototube. When a second source of light is used, it is found that the critical retarding potential is changed to 1.1 volt. The wavelength of the second source is a. 6150 A˚6150 \text{ \AA} b. 5150 A˚5150 \text{ \AA} c. 4125 A˚4125 \text{ \AA} d. 4500 A˚4500 \text{ \AA}
