detailed solution

Correct option is A

if de Broglie wavelength becomes halved momentum becomes doubled and kinetic energy becomes 4 times  and if incident wavelength decreases by 60%  it means it becomes 40%  λ becomes 410λ  frequency becomes 104ν Eienstein equation hν =w+k----1            second time h 104ν = w+4k----2 solving w=0.5 hν  here hν= 2ev
