Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies ${\nu _1}$ and ${\nu _2}$ of the incident light rays $({\nu _1} > {\nu _2})$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

  • A
    $\frac{{\nu _1 - \nu _2}}{{k - 1}}$
  • B
    $\frac{{k\nu _1 - \nu _2}}{{k - 1}}$
  • C
    $\frac{{k\nu _2 - \nu _1}}{{k - 1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{{\nu _2 - \nu _1}}{k}$
