In a photoelectric experiment for $4000 \, \mathring{A}$ incident radiation,the potential difference to stop the ejection is $2 \, V$. If the incident light is changed to $3000 \, \mathring{A}$,then the potential required to stop the ejection of electrons will be

  • A
    $2 \, V$
  • B
    Less than $2 \, V$
  • C
    Zero
  • D
    Greater than $2 \, V$
