Statement $-1$: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $V_0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is $K_{max}$. When the ultraviolet light is replaced by $X$-rays, both $V_0$ and $K_{max}$ increase.
Statement $-2$: Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.

When ultraviolet rays are incident on a metal plate, the photoelectric effect does not occur. It occurs by the incidence of:
