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.

$A$ light whose frequency is equal to $6 \times 10^{14} \, Hz$ is incident on a metal whose work function is $2 \, eV$. $[h = 6.63 \times 10^{-34} \, Js, 1 \, eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \, J]$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons will be ............ $eV$. (in $.49$)

$A$ silver ball of radius $4.8 \ cm$ is suspended by a thread in a vacuum chamber. $UV$ light of wavelength $200 \ nm$ is incident on the ball for some time,during which a total energy of $1 \times 10^{-7} \ J$ falls on the surface. Assuming that on average one out of $10^3$ incident photons is able to eject an electron,the potential on the sphere will be ............ $V$.

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:

$A$ beam of photons with an energy of $10.5 \ eV$ strikes a metal plate. The photoelectrons are emitted with a maximum velocity of $1.6 \times 10^6 \ m \ s^{-1}$. The work function of the metal is (Assume mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and charge of electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$). (in $eV$)
