= Solution

Subtract the two <photoelectric effect> equations $K_{\max}=hc/\lambda-\Phi$ to eliminate the <work function>:
$$
h=\frac{(2.3-0.9)e}{c[(200\times10^{-9})^{-1}-(258\times10^{-9})^{-1}]}
=\boxed{6.66\times10^{-34}\,\mathrm{J\,s}}.
$$
Here $e$ converts the <energy> difference from <electronvolts> to joules. The precision of the rounded stopping energies justifies about two significant figures, $6.7\times10^{-34}\,\mathrm{J\,s}$.
