The slope of the graph between stopping potential and the frequency of incident radiation for the photoelectric effect is . . . . . . .

Two identical photo-cathodes receive light of frequencies $f_1$ and $f_2$. If the velocities of the photoelectrons (of mass $m$) coming out are respectively $v_1$ and $v_2$,then:

Assuming photoemission takes place,the factor by which the maximum velocity of the emitted photoelectrons changes when the wavelength of the incident radiation is increased four times,is

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). The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency incident on the surface is doubled,both the $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ are also doubled.
Statement-$2$: The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light.

When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photocell,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $v$. What will be the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons when radiation of wavelength $3\lambda/4$ is incident on the photocell?
