If $v_0$ is the threshold frequency of a metal $X$,the correct relation between de Broglie wavelength $(\lambda)$ associated with the photoelectron and the frequency $(v)$ of the incident radiation is:

  • A
    $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{v-v_0}}$
  • B
    $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{(v-v_0)^{\frac{1}{4}}}$
  • C
    $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{(v-v_0)^{\frac{3}{4}}}$
  • D
    $\lambda \propto \sqrt{v-v_0}$
