E=10^{-3}cos\left ( \frac{2\pi x}{5\times 10^{-7}}-2\pi \times 6\times 10^{14}t \right )\hat x\frac{N}{C}

\phi = Work \; function=2eV

E=\frac{12375}{\lambda\; in \AA } \; ev

K=\frac{2\pi }{5\times10^{-7}}\; m\; \; \; \Rightarrow K=\frac{2\pi }{\lambda }

\lambda =5\times 10^{-7}m

E=\frac{12375}{5000}=2.475\; PV

Stopping Potential=\frac{\frac{hc}{\lambda }-\phi }{e}

                             =\frac{2.475\; ev-2\; ev}{e}

                           =0.475 \; V   


Option 1)

 2.0 \: V

Option 2)

0.72\: V

Option 3)

 0.48\: V

Option 4)

2.48\: V
