Problem

Light of frequency 6.0×1014 Hz6.0\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz} is incident on a metallic surface whose threshold frequency is 4.5×1014 Hz4.5\times10^{14}\,\text{Hz}. The frequency of the light is then raised by 10%10\% while the intensity is kept unchanged. Calculate the percentage change in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photo-electrons.
