When light of frequency $v_{1}$ is incident on a metal with work function $W$ (where $h v_{1} > W$), then the photocurrent falls to zero at a stopping potential of $V_{1}$. If the frequency of light is increased to $v_{2}$, the stopping potential changes to $V_{2}$. Therefore, the charge of an electron $e$ is given by:

  • A
    $\frac{W(v_{2}+v_{1})}{v_{1} V_{2}+v_{2} V_{1}}$
  • B
    $\frac{W(v_{2}+v_{1})}{v_{1} V_{1}+v_{2} V_{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{W(v_{2}-v_{1})}{v_{1} V_{2}-v_{2} V_{1}}$
  • D
    $\frac{W(v_{2}-v_{1})}{v_{2} V_{2}-v_{1} V_{1}}$
