Based on the equation $\Delta E = - 2.0 \times 10^{-18} \, J \left( \frac{1}{n_2^2} - \frac{1}{n_1^2} \right)$,the wavelength of the light that must be absorbed to excite a hydrogen electron from level $n = 1$ to level $n = 2$ will be: $(h = 6.625 \times 10^{-34} \, J \, s, c = 3 \times 10^8 \, m \, s^{-1})$

When a metal surface is irradiated with light of frequency $x \ Hz$,the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is $z \ J$. When the same metal is irradiated with light of frequency $y \ Hz$,the kinetic energy of emitted electrons is $\frac{z}{3} \ J$. What is the threshold frequency (in $Hz$) of the metal?
