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

Radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photocell. The fastest emitted electron has speed $v$. If the wavelength is changed to $\frac{3\lambda}{4}$,the speed of the fastest emitted electron will be:
