The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons varies:

The maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by the metal surface is $v$. The charge and mass of the photoelectron are denoted by $e$ and $m$ respectively. The stopping potential in volt is

Photoelectric emission is observed from a metallic surface for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of the incident light $(v_1 > v_2)$. If the maximum values of kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases are in the ratio $1: n$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is
