Solution

The stopping potential in this case will be zero. This is because when the frequency of the incident radiation is equal to the threshold frequency, the photoelectrons just have enough energy to escape from the metal surface. They don't have any extra kinetic energy. Therefore, no stopping potential is needed to stop these photoelectrons.
