When radiation of the wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then,the threshold wavelength for the surface is :

  • A
    $2 \lambda$
  • B
    $4 \lambda$
  • C
    $6 \lambda$
  • D
    $8 \lambda$
