When a metal surface is irradiated with light of frequency \(x \mathrm{~Hz}\), the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is \(z \mathrm{~J}\). When the same metal is irradiated with light of frequency \(y \mathrm{~Hz}\), the kinetic energy of emitted electrons is \(\frac{\mathrm{z}}{3} \mathrm{~J}\). What is the threshold frequency (in Hz ) of metal?

  1. A \(\frac{3}{2}(y-x)\)
  2. B \(\left(\frac{3 y-x}{2}\right)\)
  3. C \(\left(\frac{2 y-x}{3}\right)\)
  4. D \(\frac{2}{3}(y-x)\)
