$A$ photocell is illuminated by a $100 \ W$ mercury source. It emits ultraviolet light of wavelength $2271 \ \mathring A$. If the stopping potential is $1.3 \ V$,find the work function of the metal in $eV$.

Initially,a photon of wavelength $\lambda_1$ falls on a photocathode and emits an electron of maximum energy $E_1$. If the wavelength of the incident photon is changed to $\lambda_2$,the maximum energy of the electron emitted becomes $E_2$. Then the value of $hc$ ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light) is
