When a metallic surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2 \lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{3}$. The threshold wavelength for the metallic surface is:

  • A
    $\frac{4 \lambda}{3}$
  • B
    $4 \lambda$
  • C
    $6 \lambda$
  • D
    $\frac{8 \lambda}{3}$
