Photoemission from a metal surface takes place for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of incident rays. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is $1:K$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

  • A
    $\frac{K v_2-v_1}{K-1}$
  • B
    $\frac{v_1-v_2}{K-1}$
  • C
    $\frac{v_2-v_1}{K}$
  • D
    $\frac{K v_1-v_2}{K-1}$
