Problem
When a surface is irradiated with light of wavelength 4950A˚, a photocurrent appears which vanishes if a retarding potential greater than 0.6V is applied across the phototube. When a second source of light is used, the critical retarding potential changes to 1.1V. The wavelength of the second source is:
(1) 6150A˚
(2) 5150A˚
(3) 4125A˚
(4) 4500A˚
