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

  • A
    Greater than $\sqrt{3/2} \,V$
  • B
    Less than $\sqrt{3/2} \,V$
  • C
    Equal to $\sqrt{3/2} \,V$
  • D
    Equal to $V$
