As we discussed in concept

Stopping Potential /Cut-off Potential -

It is defined as the potential necessary to stop any electron from reaching the other side.

-

 

 Stopping potential depends on frequency of light and not on intensity since frequency of light remains constant, stopping potential will remain same.
