When two monochromatic lights of frequency $v$ and $\frac{v}{2}$ are incident on a photoelectric metal,their stopping potentials are $\frac{V_{s}}{2}$ and $V_{s}$ respectively. The threshold frequency for this metal is:

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ incidents on a photosensitive material,photoelectrons are emitted. If the wavelength of the incident light is reduced by $50 \%$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons becomes $3$ times the initial maximum kinetic energy. The work function of the material is ($h$ - Planck's constant,$c$ - Speed of light in vacuum).
