If the work function of a photometal is $6.825 \; eV$,its threshold wavelength will be ............. $\mathring A$ $(c = 3 \times 10^8 \; m/s)$.

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:
