In a photoelectric experiment,the stopping potential was measured to be $V_1$ and $V_2$ volts with incident light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$ respectively. The value of $V_2$ is: [where $\phi=$ work function,$e=$ electronic charge]

  • A
    $V_1+\frac{2 \phi}{e}$
  • B
    $2 V_1+\frac{\phi}{e}$
  • C
    $2 V_1-\frac{\phi}{e}$
  • D
    $V_1-\frac{2 \phi}{e}$

Light of wavelength $4000 \,\mathring A$ falls on a photosensitive metal and a negative $2 \,V$ potential stops the emitted electrons. The work function of the material (in $eV$) is approximately $(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \,Js, \,e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C, \,c = 3 \times 10^8 \,m/s)$.
