To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into two parts: (a) finding the threshold wavelength and (b) finding the wavelength of light for which the stopping potential is 2.5 V. ### Part (a): Finding the Threshold Wavelength 1. **Understanding the Work Function**: The work function (φ) is the minimum energy required to remove an electron from the surface of a material. It is given as 4.0 eV. 2. **Convert Work Function to Joules**: \[ ...
