The photoelectric effect was successfully explained first by

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: The figure shows the variation of stopping potential $(V_0)$ with frequency $(v)$ for two photosensitive materials $M_1$ and $M_2$. The slope gives the value of $\frac{h}{e}$,where $h$ is Planck's constant and $e$ is the charge of an electron.
Statement-$II$: $M_2$ will emit photoelectrons of greater kinetic energy for incident radiation having the same frequency.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

The photoelectric threshold wavelength for potassium (work function being $2 \ eV$) is ........... $nm$.

In the photoelectric effect, an electromagnetic wave is incident on a metal surface and electrons are ejected from the surface. If the work function of the metal is $2.14 \text{ eV}$ and the stopping potential is $2 \text{ V}$, what is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave (in $\text{ nm}$)? (Given $hc = 1242 \text{ eV nm}$, where $h$ is Planck's constant and $c$ is the speed of light in vacuum.)

When radiation is incident on a photoelectron emitter,the stopping potential is found to be $9 \ V$. If $e/m$ for the electron is $1.8 \times 10^{11} \ C \ kg^{-1}$,the maximum velocity of the ejected electrons is:
