As we learnt in

Conservation of energy -

h\nu = \phi _{0}+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}

h\nu = h\nu _{0}+\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}

 

h\left ( \nu-\nu _{0} \right )=\frac{1}{2}mv^{2}_{max}

where, h - Plank's constant\ \nu - Frequency\ \nu_{0} - threshold\ frequency\ \phi_{0}- work function

- wherein

 

 From Einstein's photoelectric equation 

eV_{0}=h{\nu}-{\phi}

\Rightarrow\ \;h{\nu}=eV_{0}+{\phi}=5eV+6.2eV=11.2eV

    {\lambda}=\frac{12400}{11.2}\AA=1107\AA

This lie in ultraviolet region.
