When light of wavelength $300 \; nm$ falls on a photoelectric emitter,photoelectrons are liberated. For another emitter,light of $600 \; nm$ wavelength is sufficient for creating photoemission. What is the ratio of the work functions of the two emitters?

  • A
    $1:2$
  • B
    $2:1$
  • C
    $1:4$
  • D
