The photoelectric threshold wavelength for silver is $\lambda_{0}$. The energy of the electron ejected from the surface of silver by an incident wavelength $\lambda$ (where $\lambda < \lambda_{0}$) will be:

  • A
    $h c(\lambda_{0}-\lambda)$
  • B
    $\frac{h c}{\lambda_{0}-\lambda}$
  • C
    $\frac{h}{c}(\frac{\lambda_{0}-\lambda}{\lambda \lambda_{0}})$
  • D
    $h c(\frac{\lambda_{0}-\lambda}{\lambda \lambda_{0}})$
