When a light of wavelength '$\lambda$' falls on the emitter of a photosensitive surface, the maximum speed of emitted photoelectrons is '$V$'. If the incident wavelength is changed to '$2\lambda/3$',the maximum speed of emitted photoelectrons will be

  • A
    less than $V(1.5)^{1/2}$
  • B
    greater than $V(1.5)^{1/2}$
  • C
    less than $V$
  • D
    less than $V/2$
