To solve the problem, we need to find the new wavelength of light that results in a stopping potential of 1.43 V, and also determine the work function of the surface. We will use the photoelectric effect equations to do this. ### Step-by-Step Solution: **Given:** 1. Wavelength for the first case, \( \lambda_1 = 491 \, \text{nm} \) 2. Stopping potential for the first case, \( V_{0_1} = 0.710 \, \text{V} \) 3. Stopping potential for the second case, \( V_{0_2} = 1.43 \, \text{V} \) ...
