(C) The stopping potential $V_0$ is given by the Einstein's photoelectric equation: $e V_0 = K_{	ext{max}} = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi$. Given: $h = 6.67 	imes 10^{-34} 	ext{ J-s}$, $c = 3 	imes 10^8 	ext{ m/s}$, $\lambda = 2000 	ext{ \AA} = 2 	imes 10^{-7} 	ext{ m}$, and $\phi = 5 	ext{ eV} = 5 	imes 1.6 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ J} = 8 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ J}$. Calculating the energy of the incident photon: $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{6.67 	imes 10^{-34} 	imes 3 	imes 10^8}{2 	imes 10^{-7}} = 10.005 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ J}$. Substituting into the equation: $e V_0 = 10.005 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ J} - 8 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ J} = 2.005 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ J}$. Therefore, $V_0 = \frac{2.005 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ J}}{1.6 	imes 10^{-19} 	ext{ C}} \approx 1.25 	ext{ V}$.

The work function of nickel is $5 \text{ eV}$. When light of wavelength $2000 \text{ \AA}$ falls on it, it emits photoelectrons. The potential difference necessary to stop the fastest electrons emitted is (given $h = 6.67 \times 10^{-34} \text{ J-s}$): (in $\text{ V}$)
