To solve the problem of calculating the stopping potential for 600 nm photons given the stopping potential for 375 nm photons, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Photoelectric Effect The photoelectric effect describes how photons incident on a material can eject electrons from that material. The energy of the photon is given by the equation: \[ E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \( h \) is Planck's constant (\( 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, \text{Js} \)), - \( c \) is the speed of light (\( 3 \times 10^8 \, \text{m/s} \)), ...
