In a photoelectric experiment using a sodium surface, you find a stopping potential of 1.73 V for a wavelength of 310 nm and a stopping potential of 0.740 V for a wavelength of 412 nm. From these data find (a) a value for the Planck constant, (b) the work function for sodium, and (c) the cutoff wavelength o for sodium.
