If the work function of a metal is $3 \ eV$,then the threshold wavelength will be ............ $\mathring{A}$.

In an experiment on the photoelectric effect,the wavelength of the incident radiation is $\lambda$. The wavelength of the incident radiation is reduced to $\frac{1}{3}$ of the initial value,and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron is observed to be $n$ times the previous value. The threshold wavelength for the metal plate is:

In a photocell circuit,the stopping potential $V_0$ is a measure of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. The following graph shows experimentally measured values of stopping potential versus frequency $\nu$ of incident light. The values of Planck's constant and the work function as determined from the graph are (taking the magnitude of electronic charge to be $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$):
