Two identical metal plates show the photoelectric effect. Light of wavelength ${\lambda _A}$ falls on plate $A$ and light of wavelength ${\lambda _B}$ falls on plate $B$,where ${\lambda _A} = 2{\lambda _B}$. The maximum kinetic energy is:

  • A
    $2{K_A} = {K_B}$
  • B
    ${K_A} < {K_B}/2$
  • C
    ${K_A} = 2{K_B}$
  • D
    ${K_A} = {K_B}/2$
