    This looks like the photo electric effect and Einstein's equation to "solve" it.

    Energy of the photon is E = h frequency, h is planck's constant. Hopefully that will come out in Joules. Then, if you subtract from the photon energy the KE of the electron what's left is the work function of the metal. from that, and a table of them, you can work out which metal it is. (For some reason, my mind thinks "sodium".)
