When light of wavelength '$\lambda$' is incident on a photosensitive surface, the stopping potential is '$V$'. When a light of wavelength $1.5\lambda$ is incident on the same surface, the stopping potential is '$\frac{V}{4}$'. Threshold wavelength for the surface is

  • A
    $\frac{6}{5}\lambda$
  • B
    $\frac{7.5}{4}\lambda$
  • C
    $\frac{7.5}{9}\lambda$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{5}\lambda$
