Two photons of energies twice and thrice the work function of a metal are incident on the metal surface. Then,the ratio of maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases respectively,is

When a photosensitive metal surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $V_1$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $3\lambda_1$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V_1}{6}$. The threshold wavelength for the photosensitive metal surface is:
