When photons of wavelength $\lambda_1$ are incident on an isolated sphere,the corresponding stopping potential is found to be $V$. When photons of wavelength $\lambda_2$ are used,the corresponding stopping potential is thrice that of the above value. If light of wavelength $\lambda_3$ is used,then find the stopping potential for this case.

  • A
    $\frac{hc}{e}\left[ \frac{1}{\lambda_3} + \frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1} \right]$
  • B
    $\frac{hc}{e}\left[ \frac{1}{\lambda_3} + \frac{1}{2\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1} \right]$
  • C
    $\frac{hc}{e}\left[ \frac{1}{\lambda_3} - \frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1} \right]$
  • D
    $\frac{hc}{e}\left[ \frac{1}{\lambda_3} + \frac{1}{2\lambda_2} - \frac{3}{2\lambda_1} \right]$
