When a light of a given wavelength falls on a metallic surface the stopping potential for photoelectrons is 3.2 V. If a second light having wavelength twice of first light is used, the stopping potential drops to 0.7 V. The wavelength of first light is ____\_\_\_\_____ m. (h=6.63×10−34 J.s,e=1.6×10−19C,c=3×108 m/s)\left(\mathrm{h}=6.63 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J}. \mathrm{s}, \mathrm{e}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}, \mathrm{c}=3 \times 10^{8} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\right)(h=6.63×10−34 J.s,e=1.6×10−19C,c=3×108 m/s)
