How does the maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron depend on the frequency of incident radiation? On which factors does it not depend?

When a metal is irradiated by monochromatic light,the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is $1.2 \ eV.$ If the frequency of the light is increased by $50 \%$,then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is $3.6 \ eV.$ Evaluate the work function of the metal.

The stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ plot of a substance is shown in the figure. The threshold wavelength is:

When photons of wavelength $\lambda_1$ are incident on an isolated sphere,the corresponding stopping potential is found to be $V$. When photons of wavelength $\lambda_2$ are used,the corresponding stopping potential is thrice that of the above value. If light of wavelength $\lambda_3$ is used,then find the stopping potential for this case.
