An electromagnetic wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If the photoelectron emitted from the surface has mass $m$ and de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{d}$,then

  • A
    $\lambda=\left(\frac{2 m}{hc}\right) \lambda_{d}^{2}$
  • B
    $\lambda_{d}=\left(\frac{2 mc}{h}\right) \lambda^{2}$
  • C
    $\lambda=\left(\frac{2 mc}{h}\right) \lambda_{d}^{2}$
  • D
    $\lambda=\left(\frac{2 h}{mc}\right) \lambda_{d}^{2}$
