When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a metallic surface,the stopping potential is $4.8 \ V$. If the same surface is illuminated with radiation of double the wavelength,then the stopping potential becomes $1.6 \ V$. Then the threshold wavelength for the surface is

  • A
    $2\lambda$
  • B
    $4\lambda$
  • C
    $6\lambda$
  • D
    $8\lambda$
