Monochromatic radiation of wavelength $640.2 \;nm$ $(1 \;nm = 10^{-9} \;m)$ from a neon lamp irradiates a photosensitive material made of caesium on tungsten. The stopping voltage is measured to be $0.54 \;V$. The source is replaced by an iron source and its $427.2 \;nm$ line irradiates the same photo-cell. Predict the new stopping voltage (in $V$).
