The kinetic energy of an emitted electron is $E$ when the light incident on the metal has wavelength $\lambda$. To double the kinetic energy,the incident light must have a wavelength of:

  • A
    $\frac{ hc }{ E \lambda- hc }$
  • B
    $\frac{ hc \lambda}{ E \lambda+ hc }$
  • C
    $\frac{ h \lambda}{ E \lambda+ hc }$
  • D
    $\frac{ hc \lambda}{ E \lambda- hc }$
