An electron in the hydrogen atom jumps from excited state 'n' to the ground state. The wavelength of the photoelectron illuminates a photo-sensitive material that has a work function - ω (in eV). The stopping potential of the photoelectron is found to be 10 eV. In a sample, electrons fall from 'n' and it is found only 2 lines belong to the visible range. Find value of the work function ω (in eV)
