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 the 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 the experiment of $P.E.E.$,the $KE_{max}$ of an electron is $K_0$. If the frequency is increased by a factor of $n_1$,then the $KE_{max}$ becomes $n_2K_0$. Find the work function.
