Light comprising three wavelengths $310 \ nm$,$455 \ nm$,and $620 \ nm$ is incident on a surface separating two media at an angle of $45^o$. The refractive index for the $455 \ nm$ light is $\sqrt{2}$. If a metal plate with a work function of $1.2 \ eV$ is placed in the second medium,what is the maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted from the metallic plate in $eV$?

The threshold frequency of a photosensitive material is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\alpha}$ line of hydrogen. If a photon whose frequency is equal to the frequency of the $H_{\beta}$ line of hydrogen is incident on this photosensitive material,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is ($R$ = Rydberg's constant,$h$ = Planck's constant,and $c$ = speed of light in vacuum).

In a photoelectric experiment,ultraviolet light of wavelength $280 \, nm$ is used with a lithium cathode having a work function $\phi = 2.5 \, eV$. If the wavelength of incident light is switched to $400 \, nm$,find out the change in the stopping potential (in $V$).
