When a surface is irradiated with light ...

When a surface is irradiated with light of wavelength `4950 overset(@)(A)`,a photocurrent appears which vanishes if a retarding potential greater than 0.6 V is applied across the phototube.When different source of light is used,it is found that the critical retarding potential is changed to 1.1 V.Find the work function of the emitting surface and the wavelength of the second source
