    In Lenard's experiment, the stopping potential for photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface illuminated by light of wavelength λ1\lambda_1 is V1V_1. When the wavelength is changed to λ2\lambda_2 (λ2>λ1\lambda_2 > \lambda_1), the stopping potential becomes V2V_2. If the work function of the metal is ϕ\phi, which of the following relations is correct?

    A

    hc(1λ11λ2)=eV1eV2hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_1} - \frac{1}{\lambda_2}) = eV_1 - eV_2

    B

    hc(1λ21λ1)=eV1eV2hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_2} - \frac{1}{\lambda_1}) = eV_1 - eV_2

    C

    hc(1λ11λ2)=eV2eV1hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_1} - \frac{1}{\lambda_2}) = eV_2 - eV_1

    D

    hc(1λ1+1λ2)=eV1+eV2hc(\frac{1}{\lambda_1} + \frac{1}{\lambda_2}) = eV_1 + eV_2
