Light of wavelength λ strikes a photosensitive surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy E. If the KE is to be increased to 2E, the wavelength must be changed to λ' where–

A

λ' = λ/2

B

λ' = 2λ

C

λ' >λ

D

λ2\frac { \lambda } { 2 }<λ' <λ

Answer

λ2\frac { \lambda } { 2 }<λ' <λ

Explanation

Solution

If wavelength becomes halved than maximum KE becomes more than double.
