Chemistry

Light from three different lasers(A, B, and C), each with a different wavelength, was shined on thesame metal surface. Laser A produced no photoelectrons. Lasers Band C both produced photoelectrons, but those produced by B had agreater velocity than those produced by C. Arrange the lasers inorder of increasing wavelength.

If A didn't produce anyphotoelectrons, Wouldn't it just be a straight line with thehighest frequency? And to have a greater velocity would that meanthe wavelength increases frequency?
