Detailed Solution

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation eVs=hcλ-hcλ0 where Vs= Stopping potential λ= Incident wavelength λ0= Threshold wavelength  or Vs=hce1λ-1λ0for the first case 3V0=hce1λ-1λ0for the second caseV0=hce12λ-1λ0Divide eqn. (i) by (ii), we get 3=1λ-1λ012λ-1λ0 312λ-1λ0=1λ-1λ0 32λ-3λ0=1λ-1λ0 12λ=2λ0 or λ0=4λ
