When a point source of monochromatic light is at a distance of $0.2 \ m$ from a photoelectric cell,the cut-off voltage and the saturation current are $0.6 \ V$ and $18 \ mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed $0.6 \ m$ away from the photoelectric cell,then:

If the frequency of incident light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled,then the stopping potential will
