When a photon of energy $4.25\, eV$ strikes the surface of a metal $A$,the ejected photoelectrons have a maximum kinetic energy $T_A\, eV$ and de-Broglie wavelength ${\lambda _A}$. The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons liberated from another metal $B$ by a photon of energy $4.70\, eV$ is ${T_B} = ({T_A} - 1.50)\, eV$. If the de-Broglie wavelength of these photoelectrons is ${\lambda _B} = 2{\lambda _A}$,then:

In a photoelectric effect experiment,$f$ is the frequency of radiations incident on the metal surface and $I$ is the intensity of the incident radiations. Consider the following statements. Which of the following statements are correct?
$(A)$ If $f$ is increased keeping $I$ and work function constant,then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron increases.
$(B)$ If the distance between the cathode and anode is increased,the stopping potential increases.
$(C)$ If $I$ is increased keeping $f$ and work function constant,then the stopping potential remains the same and the saturation current increases.
$(D)$ If the work function is decreased keeping $f$ and $I$ constant,then the stopping potential increases.
