If a metal sheet is irradiated with radiations of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ and the kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons are in the ratio $1 : x$, then the threshold frequency of the metal is:

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