For a photoelectric cell,the graph showing the variation of stopping potential $(V_o)$ with frequency $(\nu)$ of incident light is best represented by:

Photoelectric emission takes place from a certain metal at threshold frequency $v$. If the radiation of frequency $4v$ is incident on the metal plate,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons will be ($m=$ mass of photoelectron,$h=$ Planck's constant).

In an experiment on photoelectric emission from a metallic surface,the wavelength of incident light is $2 \times 10^{-7} \,m$ and the stopping potential is $2.5 \,V$. The threshold frequency of the metal (in $Hz$) is approximately (charge of electron $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$,Planck's constant $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,J-s$):

Two streams of photons,possessing energies equal to $5$ and $10$ times the work function of a metal,are incident on the metal surface successively. What is the ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases,respectively?
