Problem

Monochromatic light of frequency 9.0×1014 Hz9.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz} produces a stopping potential of 1.5 V1.5\,\text{V} for a certain metal. Determine the threshold wavelength of this metal in nanometres. (h=6.63×10−34 J sh=6.63\times10^{-34}\,\text{J\,s}, c=3.0×108 m s−1c=3.0\times10^{8}\,\text{m\,s}^{-1}, e=1.6×10−19 Ce=1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{C})
