Problem

When a surface is irradiated with light of wavelength 4950 A˚4950\,\text{\AA}, a photocurrent appears which vanishes if a retarding potential greater than 0.6 V0.6\,\text{V} is applied across the phototube. When a second source of light is used, the critical retarding potential changes to 1.1 V1.1\,\text{V}. The wavelength of the second source is: (1) 6150 A˚6150\,\text{\AA} (2) 5150 A˚5150\,\text{\AA} (3) 4125 A˚4125\,\text{\AA} (4) 4500 A˚4500\,\text{\AA}
