Statement $1$: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $V_0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is $K_{max}$. When $X$-rays are used instead of ultraviolet light, both $V_0$ and $K_{max}$ increase.
Statement $2$: Photoelectrons are emitted with a range of speeds from $0$ to a maximum value because the incident light contains a range of frequencies.

Light of wavelength $3500 \ \mathring A$ is incident on two metals $A$ and $B$. If their work functions are $4.2 \ eV$ and $1.9 \ eV$ respectively,which metal will emit photoelectrons?

The work functions for sodium and copper are $2 \ eV$ and $4 \ eV$, respectively. Which of them is suitable for a photocell using $4000 \ \mathring{A}$ light?

Why maximum kinetic energy of a photoelectron cannot be negative?

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $(\lambda / 3)$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the second case is $4$ times that in the first case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ speed of light).
