Photoelectrons are emitted from two similar metal plates when wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are incident on them $(\lambda_1 = 1.5\lambda_2)$. If the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons are $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively, then:

  • A
    $E_1 < 2E_2/3$
  • B
    $E_1 = 2E_2/3$
  • C
    $E_1 = E_2/3$
  • D
    $E_1 = 2E_2$
