When a point source of light is at a distance of $1 \ m$ from a photocell,the cut-off voltage is found to be $V$. If the same source is placed at $2 \ m$ distance from the photocell,the cut-off voltage will be

$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the first case is one-fourth that in the second case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant).

When photons are incident on a photosensitive material of work function $1.5 \text{ eV}$,the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons is $8 \times 10^5 \text{ m/s}$. The stopping potential of the photoelectrons is (Mass of the electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \text{ kg}$ and charge of the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}$) (in $V$)

This question has Statement $1$ and Statement $2.$ Of the four choices given after the Statements,choose the one that best describes the two Statements.
Statement $1:$ $A$ metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$ (the threshold frequency). If the incident frequency is now doubled,the photocurrent and the maximum kinetic energy are also doubled.
Statement $2:$ The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface is linearly dependent on the frequency of the incident light. The photocurrent depends only on the intensity of the incident light.

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ strikes a photo-sensitive surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy $E$. If the kinetic energy is to be increased to $2E$,the wavelength must be changed to $\lambda'$ where
