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

  • C
    $6\lambda$ 
  • D
    $8\lambda$ 

Answer

Correct option: B.
$4\lambda$
$4 \lambda$
