An electron and a proton are separated by a large distance. The electron starts approaching the proton with an initial kinetic energy of $3 \, eV$. The proton captures the electron and forms a hydrogen atom in the second excited state. The resulting photon is incident on a photosensitive metal with a threshold wavelength of $4000 \, Å$. What is the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron? (In $eV$)

$A$ photon of energy $hv$ is absorbed by a free electron of a metal having work function $\phi < hv$.

For a photosensitive material,the work function is $W_0$ and the stopping potential is $V$. What is the wavelength of the incident radiation? ($h=$ Planck's constant,$c=$ velocity of light,$e=$ electronic charge)

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.

In a photoelectric effect experiment,the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is $K_0$. If the frequency of the incident radiation is increased by a factor of $n_1$,the new maximum kinetic energy becomes $n_2K_0$. Find the work function of the metal.
