Detailed Solution

The relation between stopping potential (V0) and frequency of incident (ν) radiation is given by

V0 = hνe - φe

When the frequency is tripled, 

V0' = 3hνe - φe V0' = 3hνe - 3φe + 3φe - φe V0'= 3hνe - φe + 2φe  V0' = 3V0+ 2φe 

Hence, if the frequency of intensity of light is tripled, the stopping potential will become more than tripled.
