The electron ejected with maximum speed  v_{max}  are stopped by electric field E = 4N/C after travelling a distance d = 1m

\therefore \frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2=eE d=4eV

The energy of incident photon =\frac{1240}{200}=6.2eV

From equation of photo electric effect

\frac{1}{2}mv_{max}^2=hv-\phi_{0}

\therefore \phi_{0}=6.2-4=2.2eV
