When a certain metal was irradiated with light of frequency \( 4.0 \times 10^{16} \, \text{s}^{-1} \), the photoelectrons emitted has three times the kinetic energy as the kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted when the metal was irradiated with light of frequency \( 2.0 \times 10^{16} \, \text{s}^{-1} \). The threshold frequency \( (v_0 \)) of the metal is:
