The photoelectric threshold wavelength for potassium (work function being $2 \ eV$) is ........... $nm$.

In a historical experiment to determine Planck's constant, a metal surface was irradiated with light of different wavelengths. The emitted photoelectron energies were measured by applying a stopping potential. The relevant data for the wavelength $(\lambda)$ of incident light and the corresponding stopping potential $(V_0)$ are given below:
$\lambda (\mu m)$$V_0$ (Volt)
$0.3$$2.0$
$0.4$$1.0$
$0.5$$0.4$

Given that $c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m \ s^{-1}$ and $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$, Planck's constant (in units of $J \ s$) found from such an experiment is:

The stopping potential $({V_0})$:

The variation of stopping potential for metals $A$,$B$,$C$ and $D$ with the frequency of incident radiation is shown in the figure. For which metal is the stopping potential higher for a given frequency of incident radiation $(v)$ if the threshold frequency is lower $(\nu_o)$?

The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface when photons of energy $6 eV$ fall on it is $4 eV$. The stopping potential in volts is
