Dear student,

The stopping potential is energy required to stop the electrons emitted with maximum possible kinetic energy,
HenceKE_{max}=1.36eV

The energy of incident photon=\dfrac{hc}{\lambda}=\dfrac{12400}{5000}=2.48eV

Hence from the relationh\nu=W_0+KE_{max}
Work function,W_0=2.48eV-1.36eV=1.12eV
