When light of wavelength $\lambda$ incidents on a photosensitive material,photoelectrons are emitted. If the wavelength of the incident light is reduced by $50 \%$,the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons becomes $3$ times the initial maximum kinetic energy. The work function of the material is ($h$ - Planck's constant,$c$ - Speed of light in vacuum).

  • A
    $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$
  • B

  • C
    $\frac{2 hc}{\lambda}$
  • D
    $\frac{hc}{3 \lambda}$
