Two light beams of different frequencies,having energies $1 \ eV$ and $2.5 \ eV$ respectively,are incident on a metal surface with a work function of $0.5 \ eV$. The ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons is:

  • A
    $1 : 5$
  • B
    $1 : 4$
  • C
    $1 : 2$
  • D
    $1 : 1$
