Light of wavelength $4000 \,\mathring A$ falls on a photosensitive metal and a negative $2 \,V$ potential stops the emitted electrons. The work function of the material (in $eV$) is approximately $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,Js, \,e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C, \,c = 3 \times 10^8 \,m/s)$.

The maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted by a metal surface is $9 \times 10^5 \ m/s$. The value of the ratio of charge $(e)$ to mass $(m)$ of the photoelectron is $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C/kg$. The value of the stopping potential in volts is:
