The correct answer is: 4 × 10-15
When light waves of differing frequencies are made incident on the same surface, the stopping potential (Vs) differ as is evidenced from Einstein's photoelectric equation given by

hv-hv0=eVs

where h is Planck's constant, v,v0 the frequencies and e the charge.



Hence,                           Vs=hve-hve ...(i)

Comparing Eq. (i) with straight line equation

y=mx+c

Slope m=he

Where   h=6.6×10-34 Js, e=1.6×10-19 C.

              m=6.6×10-341.6×10-19=4.125×10-15
