Problem

Electrons in a hydrogen-like atom with Z=3Z=3 make transitions from the fifth to the fourth orbit and from the fourth to the third orbit. The resulting radiations are incident normally on a metal plate and eject photoelectrons. The stopping potential for the photoelectrons ejected by the shorter wavelength is 3.95 V3.95\text{ V}. Calculate the work function of the metal and the stopping potential for the photoelectrons ejected by the longer wavelength.
