Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies ν1 and ν2 of the incident light rays (ν1 > ν2). If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of 1 : k, then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is
  1. \(\frac{v_{1}-v_{2}}{k-1}\)
  2. \(\frac{\mathrm{k} v_{1}-v_{2}}{\mathrm{k}-1}\)
  3. \(\frac{\mathrm{k} v_{2}-v_{1}}{\mathrm{k}-1}\)
  4. \(\frac{v_{2}-v_{1}}{k}\)

Answer

(B) k v_ 1 -v_ 2 k -1
