When a metallic surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of wavelength $3\lambda$,the stopping potential is $\frac{V}{6}$. The threshold wavelength for the surface is:

  • A
    $3\lambda$
  • B
    $4\lambda$
  • C
    $5\lambda$
  • D
    $6\lambda$
