The stopping potential for electrons emitted from a photosensitive surface illuminated with light of wavelength \(491~\text{nm}\) is \(0.710~\text{V}.\) When the wavelength of the incident light changes, the stopping potential increases to \(1.43~\text{V}.\) The new wavelength is approximately:
1. \(329~\text{nm}\)
2. \(309~\text{nm}\)
3. \(382~\text{nm}\)
4. \(400~\text{nm}\)
