$A$ photoemissive substance is illuminated with a radiation of wavelength $\lambda_i$ so that it releases electrons with de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$. The longest wavelength of radiation that can emit photoelectron is $\lambda_0$. The expression for the de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_e$ is ($m = \text{mass of electron}$, $h = \text{Planck's constant}$, $c = \text{speed of light}$):

Explain: "For photoelectric emission, the frequency of incident radiation should be greater than the threshold frequency."

Light of frequency $7.21 \times 10^{14} \; Hz$ is incident on a metal surface. Electrons with a maximum speed of $6.0 \times 10^{5} \; m/s$ are ejected from the surface. What is the threshold frequency for photoemission of electrons?

The threshold frequency of a metal is $f_0$. When light of frequency $2f_0$ is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5f_0$, the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons emitted is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is
