Initially,a photon of wavelength $\lambda_1$ falls on a photocathode and emits an electron of maximum energy $E_1$. If the wavelength of the incident photon is changed to $\lambda_2$,the maximum energy of the electron emitted becomes $E_2$. Then the value of $hc$ ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light) is
