5x 10^15 and 8x 10^15 are angular frequency of the light. so u can calculate frequency from the anglular freq as

w= 2pi v so v = w/2(pi) after that calculate the mean freq by sqaring and adding then take out the sq root .

that is ur freqq ... then equate it to einsteins photoelectric eqn . hope u can do it ...
