Two photons of energies twice and thrice the work function of a metal are incident on the metal surface. Then,the ratio of maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases respectively,is

When photons of energy $h \nu$ fall on a photosensitive surface of work function $E_0$,photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $k$ are emitted. If the frequency of radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy will be equal to ($h=$ Planck's constant).

In a photoemission experiment,the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons from metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $E_P, E_Q$ and $E_R$,respectively,and they are related by $E_P = 2E_Q = 2E_R$. In this experiment,the same source of monochromatic light is used for metals $P$ and $Q$,while a different source of monochromatic light is used for metal $R$. The work functions for metals $P, Q$ and $R$ are $4.0 \ eV$,$4.5 \ eV$ and $5.5 \ eV$,respectively. The energy of the incident photon used for metal $R$,in $eV$,is:
