To solve the problem, we need to find the threshold wavelength of the material given the incident light's wavelength and the stopping potential. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the solution: ### Step 1: Understand the Problem We are given: - Wavelength of incident light, \( \lambda = 450 \, \text{nm} \) - Stopping potential, \( V = 1 \, \text{V} \) We need to find the threshold wavelength \( \lambda_0 \) of the material. ...
