\lambda _{1}= 6705 nm\\

(V_{0})_{1}= 0.48 V\\

\lambda _{2}= 474.6nm\\

By Einstein's photoelectric equation

\frac{hc}{\lambda _{1}}= \phi _{0}+e(V_{0})_{1}\\                   .................(1)

\frac{hc}{\lambda _{2}}= \phi _{0}+e(V_{0})_{2}\\                   .................(2)

\frac{hc}{\lambda _{1}}-\frac{hc}{\lambda _{2}}= e(V_{0})_{1}- e(V_{0})_{2}\\

\frac{1240}{670.5}(eV)-\frac{1240}{474.6}(eV)= 0.48eV-e(V_{0})_{2}\\

1.8493(eV)-2.613eV= 0.48eV-e(V_{0})_{2}\\

-0.7691-0.48= -(V_{0})_{2}\\

(V_{0})_{2}= 1.2491V
