Photoelectric effect is observed on a surface for frequencies $5.5 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$ and $4.5 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $1:5$,then the threshold frequency for the metal surface is:

  • A
    $7.55 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$
  • B
    $4.57 \text{ MHz}$
  • C
    $9.35 \text{ MHz}$
  • D
    $5.75 \times 10^8 \text{ MHz}$
