Two separate monochromatic light beams A...

Two separate monochromatic light beams `A` and `B` of the same intensity (energy per unit area per unit time) are falling normally on a unit area of a metallic surface. Their wavelength are `lambda_(A)` and `lambda_(B)` respectively. Assuming that all the the incident light is used in ejecting the photoelectrons, the ratio of the number of photoelectrons from beam `A` to that from `B` is

A

`(lambda_(B))/(lambda_(A))`

B

`(lambda_(A))/(lambda_(B))`

C

Both (1) & (2)

D

None of these
