When light is incident on a surface, photoelectrons are emitted. For photoelectrons:

Photoemission from a metal surface takes place for frequencies $v_1$ and $v_2$ of incident rays. If the ratio of the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is $1:K$,then the threshold frequency of the metallic surface is

The stopping potential in the context of the photoelectric effect depends on the following property of incident electromagnetic radiation:

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.
