Isaac physics work function question

Hi I’m really stuck on this question. What is the work function in eV if the wavelength of photons is 530nm and the stopping potential is 1.35V does anyone know the answer?

You need the photoelectric equation in the form of stopping potential.

Photon energy = work function + stopping potential

Convert the photon energy in the form of eV.
