To solve the problem of calculating the stopping potential when light of wavelength 2000 Å falls on a metallic surface with a work function of 4.21 eV, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Convert the wavelength to meters The wavelength given is in angstroms. We need to convert this to meters for our calculations. \[ \text{Wavelength} (\lambda) = 2000 \, \text{Å} = 2000 \times 10^{-10} \, \text{m} = 2 \times 10^{-7} \, \text{m} \] ...
