Which theory of light can explain the photoelectric effect?

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

The graph of stopping potential $(V_{s})$ against frequency $(\nu)$ of incident radiation is plotted for two different metals '$P$' and '$Q$' as shown in the graph. If $\phi_{P}$ and $\phi_{Q}$ are the work functions of metals '$P$' and '$Q$' respectively,then which of the following is correct?
