Define the term work function of a metal. The threshold frequency of a metal is `f_0` when the light of frequency `2f_0` is incident on the metal plate, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is `v_1`, when the frequency of the incident radiation is increased to `5f_0`, the maximum velocity of electrons emitted is `v_2`. Find the ratio of `v_1` and `v_2`.
