Illuminating a metal surface alternately with wavelengths `lambda_1 and lambda_2,` when `lambda_1 lt lambda_2,` it is observed that corresponding ratio of maximum velocities of electrons is equal to n. Then work function of metal is

A

`(hc)/(nlambda)(((1+lambda_2)/(lambda_1)))/((n^2+1))`

B

`(hc(1-lambda_2/(lambda_1)))/(n^2lambda_2(n^2-1))`

C

`(hc(n^2-lambda_2/lambda_1))/(lambda_2(n^2-1))`

D

`(hcn(1-lambda_2/lambda_1))/(lambda_2(n-1))`
