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 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:

In a photocell circuit,the stopping potential $V_0$ is a measure of the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons. The following graph shows experimentally measured values of stopping potential versus frequency $\nu$ of incident light. The values of Planck's constant and the work function as determined from the graph are (taking the magnitude of electronic charge to be $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, C$):
