If the frequency of light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled , the stopping potential will more than double - Chemistry - Structure of Atom

Question

If the frequency of light in a photoelectric experiment is doubled
, the stopping potential will more than double how is it so???

Stoppeing potential eV = 12 mV2        = hν - hν0When ν becomes 2ν then kinetic energy 12 mV2 becomes more than the double than the previous value
So stopping potential becomes more than the double
