Light of frequency 7.0×1014 Hz7.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz} produces a stopping potential of 0.80 V0.80\,\text{V} on a certain metal. Light of frequency 9.0×1014 Hz9.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz} produces a stopping potential of 2.1 V2.1\,\text{V} on the same metal. Determine the threshold frequency for this metal.
