Question:medium

From a metallic surface photoelectric emission is observed for frequencies $v_{1}$ and $v_{2}$ ($v_{1}>v_{2}$) of the incident light. The maximum values of the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1:x$. Hence the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

Show Hint

Logic Tip: Threshold frequency is a characteristic property of the metal surface and does not depend on the incident light frequency.

  • $\frac{v_{1}-v_{2{x}$
  • $\frac{v_{1}-v_{2{x-1}$
  • $\frac{xv_{1}-v_{2{x-1}$
  • $\frac{xv_{2}-v_{1{x-1}$
