$A$ light of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. The photoelectrons emitted from the surface have de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_1$. Then the ratio $\lambda : \lambda_1^2$ is ($h =$ Planck's constant,$c =$ velocity of light,$m =$ mass of electron).
