When light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface,the stopping potential is $V$. When light of wavelength $3 \lambda$ is incident on the same surface,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is:

  • A
    $2 \lambda$
  • B
    $3 \lambda$
  • C
    $4 \lambda$
  • D
    $5 \lambda$
