$K_1$ and $K_2$ are the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons emitted from a surface of a given material for light of wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$, respectively. If $\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2$, then the work function of the material is given by:

  • A
    $K_2 + 2K_1$
  • B
    $2K_2 - K_1$
  • C
    $K_1 - 2K_2$
  • D
    $K_2 - 2K_1$
