An electron in a Hydrogen atom jumps from the second Bohr orbit to the ground state, and the difference between the energies of the two states is radiated in the form of a photon. This photon strikes a material. If the work function of the material is $4.2 \ eV$, then the stopping potential is (Energy of electron in $n$-th orbit $= -\frac{13.6}{n^2} \ eV$). (in $V$)

Two streams of photons,possessing energies equal to twice and ten times the work function of a metal,are incident on the metal surface successively. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two respective cases is $x:y$. The value of $x$ is ...... .

Two identical photocathodes receive light of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$. If the velocities of the photoelectrons (of mass $m$) coming out are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively,then:
