Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs · What stopping potential depends on

This question has Statement - 11 and Statement - 22. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.

Statement - 11: A metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency v>v0v > v_0 (the threshold frequency). The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential are KmaxK_\mathrm{max} and V0V_0 respectively. If the frequency incident on the surface is doubled, both the KmaxK_\mathrm{max} and V0V_0 are also doubled.

Statement - 22: The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light.

Photoelectric Experiment: Intensity, Stopping Potential & Graphs · What stopping potential depends on

Statement - 11: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is V0V_0 and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is KmaxK_\mathrm{max}. When the ultraviolet light is replaced by XX-rays, both V0V_0 and KmaxK_\mathrm{max} increase.

Statement - 22: Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.
