When a certain metal surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{3}$. The threshold wavelength for the surface is:

  • A
    $\frac{8\lambda}{3}$
  • B
    $\frac{4\lambda}{3}$
  • C
    $4\lambda$
  • D
    $6\lambda$

$A$ photoelectric material having work-function $\phi_0$ is illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < \frac{hc}{\phi_0}$). The fastest photoelectron has a de Broglie wavelength $\lambda_d$. $A$ change in wavelength of the incident light by $\Delta \lambda$ results in a change $\Delta \lambda_d$ in $\lambda_d$. Then the ratio $\frac{\Delta \lambda_d}{\Delta \lambda}$ is proportional to:
