In a photoelectric experiment,electrons are ejected from metals $X$ and $Y$ by light of intensity $I$ and frequency $f$. The potential difference $V$ required to stop the electrons is measured for various frequencies. If $Y$ has a greater work function than $X$,which one of the following graphs best illustrates the expected results?

In photoelectric effect, the graph of stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ is a straight line. The slope of this graph is . . . . . . .

The stopping potential $V_0$ for photoelectric emission from a metal surface is plotted along the $Y-$ axis and the frequency $\nu$ of incident light along the $X-$ axis. $A$ straight line is obtained as shown. Planck's constant $h$ is given by:

When light of frequencies ${\nu _1}$ and ${\nu _2}$ $({\nu _1} > {\nu _2})$ is incident on a metal surface,the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $1:k$. What is the threshold frequency of the metal?
