When a photosensitive surface is irradiated by light of wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$,the kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons are $E_1$ and $E_2$ respectively. The work function of the photosensitive surface is:

$A$ ray of light with wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely $1$, $2$ and $3$. The threshold wavelengths of these photoelectric cells are $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$, respectively, and the magnitudes of the stopping potentials of these cells are $V_1$, $V_2$ and $V_3$, respectively. The relation between $\lambda$ and the threshold wavelengths is $\lambda_1 < \lambda$, $\lambda_2 > \lambda$ and $\lambda_3 >> \lambda$. The correct option is:
