Illuminating the surface of certain metal alternately with the light of wavelength `lambda_1` and `lambda_2` `(lambda_2gtlambda_1)`,it was found that the corresponding maximum velocities of photoelectrons differ by a factor of n.Show that the work function of the metal is given by
`omega = hc ((n^2 - lambda_2//lambda_1))/(lambda_2 ( n^2 - 1))`.
