Choose the correct option for the given statements:
Statement-$I$: The kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends on the intensity of the incident radiation.
Statement-$II$: In the photoelectric emission process,the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons increases with increasing intensity of the incident light.

In the photoelectric effect,if a radiation of weak intensity is used instead of a radiation of strong intensity,but of the same suitable frequency,then:
