The work function of a metal surface is $6.2 \ eV$. If the stopping potential for radiation incident on this surface is $5 \ V$,then the incident radiation will be in the ...... region.

According to the photoelectric effect,the plot of kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electrons from a metal versus the frequency of the incident radiation gives a straight line whose slope

The stopping potential for photoelectrons from a metal surface is $V_{1}$ when monochromatic light of frequency $v_{1}$ is incident on it. The stopping potential becomes $V_{2}$ when monochromatic light of another frequency is incident on the same metal surface. If $h$ is the Planck's constant and $e$ is the charge of an electron, then the frequency of light in the second case is
