Dear Aishwarya

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation

  hv = Φ0 + (KE)max = Φ0 + eVs, where Φis work function and Vs is stopping potential
  hv= hc/λ= 6.633 x 10-34 x 3 x 108 x/2000 x 10-10
     = 9.95 x 10-19 J = 9.95/1.6 eV= 6.22 eV
eVs= 6.22 - 4.2 = 2.02 eV
Vs= 2.02 volt

All the best.
