Solution
The correct option is B Blue
Increasing order of wavelengths :
Violet < Indigo < Blue < Green < Yellow < Orange < Red
As the wavelength increases, the energy decreases. Therefore we need a radiation with wavelength less than green. So, only blue light can emit photoelectrons from the given metal surface.
