The threshold wavelength for photoelectric emission from a material is $5200 \, \mathring{A}$. Photo-electrons will be emitted when this material is illuminated with monochromatic radiation from a

When the light of frequency $2v_0$ (where $v_0$ is threshold frequency) is incident on a metal plate,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is $v_1$. When the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to $5v_0$,the maximum velocity of electrons emitted from the same plate is $v_2$. The ratio of $v_1$ to $v_2$ is
