The cathode of a photoelectric cell is changed such that the work function changes from `(W_(1) to W_(2) (W_(2) gt W_(1))`. If the current before and after change are `I_(1)` and `I_(2)`, all other conditions remaining unchanged , then (assuming `hv gt W_(2)`)

A

`(l_(1) = l_(2))`

B

`(l_(1) lt l_(2))`

C

`l_(1) gt l_(2))`

D

`(l_(1) lt l_(2) lt 2L_(1))`
