Light of wavelength '$\lambda$' which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with some velocity, then the stopping potential:

  • A
    becomes half
  • B
    increases
  • C
    decreases
  • D
    is zero
