6. Electrons in hydrogen like atom with Z = 3 moles transition from fourth to third orbit. The ;Hi:N photons so emitted are allowed to fall normally on a metal surface to cause photoelectric emission. Determine the work function of the metal if stopping potential tor the most energic photoelectron is 3.95 V and Rydberg’s formula for hydrogen like atom is given to be
