A ray of light with wavelength \( \lambda \) is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely 1, 2 and 3. The threshold wavelength of these photoelectric cells are \( \lambda_1 \), \( \lambda_2 \), and \( \lambda_3 \), respectively and the magnitude of stopping potentials of these cells are \( V_1 \), \( V_2 \) and \( V_3 \), respectively. The relation between \( \lambda \) and threshold wavelengths are \( \lambda_1 < \lambda \), \( \lambda_2 > \lambda \) and \( \lambda_3 \gg \lambda \). The correct option is :
