Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light rays $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies 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
    $\frac{k v_2 - v_1}{k - 1}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_2 - v_1}{k}$
  • C
    $\frac{v_1 - v_2}{k - 1}$
  • D
    $\frac{k v_1 - v_2}{k - 1}$
