In a photoelectric effect experiment,$f$ is the frequency of radiations incident on the metal surface and $I$ is the intensity of the incident radiations. Consider the following statements. Which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ If $f$ is increased keeping $I$ and work function constant,then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron increases.
$(B)$ If the distance between the cathode and anode is increased,the stopping potential increases.
$(C)$ If $I$ is increased keeping $f$ and work function constant,then the stopping potential remains the same and the saturation current increases.
$(D)$ If the work function is decreased keeping $f$ and $I$ constant,then the stopping potential increases.

The photoelectric cut-off voltage in a certain experiment is $1.5 \text{ V}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted will be . . . . . . .

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.

If a metal sheet is irradiated with radiations of frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ and the kinetic energies of the emitted photoelectrons are in the ratio $1 : x$, then the threshold frequency of the metal is:
