Q14 · Physics

When the light of frequency 2v02v_0 (where v0v_0 is threshold frequency), is incident on a metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is v1v_1. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to 5v05v_0, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is v2v_2. The ratio of v1v_1 to v2v_2 is
