If $p$ is the momentum of the fastest electron ejected from a metal surface after the irradiation of light having wavelength $\lambda$,then for $1.5 \ p$ momentum of the photoelectron,the wavelength of the light should be: (Assume kinetic energy of ejected photoelectron to be very high in comparison to work function)

  • A
    $\frac{3}{4} \lambda$
  • B
    $\frac{1}{2} \lambda$
  • C
    $\frac{4}{9} \lambda$
  • D
    $\frac{2}{3} \lambda$
