The electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from excited state $(n=3)$ to its ground state $(n=1)$ and the photons thus emitted irradiate a photosensitive material. If the work function of the material is $5.1 \mathrm{eV}$, the stopping potential is estimated to be (the energy of the electron in $n$th state $\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{n}}=-\frac{13.6}{\mathrm{n}^2} \mathrm{eV}$ )
