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
    $V_1-\frac{2 \phi}{e}$
