$A$ photosensitive metallic surface has a work function $h\nu_0$. If photons of energy $2h\nu_0$ fall on this surface,the electrons are emitted with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \, m/s$. When the photon energy is increased to $5h\nu_0$,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons will be:

  • A
    $2 \times 10^6 \, m/s$
  • B
    $2 \times 10^7 \, m/s$
  • C
    $8 \times 10^5 \, m/s$
  • D
    $8 \times 10^6 \, m/s$
