When ultraviolet rays are incident on a metal plate, the photoelectric effect does not occur. It occurs by the incidence of:

$A$ light of wavelength $310 \,nm$ is used in a photoelectric experiment. The metal electrode of work function $2.5 \,eV$ is used in the experiment. The stopping potential for the photoelectrons will be (assume $hc = 1240 \,eV-nm$): (in $V$)

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 values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio of $1:k$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is
