Problem

For a certain metal the threshold frequency is 5.0×1014 Hz5.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz}. Monochromatic light of frequency 6.0×1014 Hz6.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz} produces a stopping potential of 1.7 V1.7\,\text{V}. Calculate the new stopping potential when the incident frequency is changed to 9.0×1014 Hz9.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz}. (Take the electronic charge e=1.6×10−19 Ce=1.6\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}.)
