When a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _1}$ is incident on a metal surface,the speed of the ejected fastest electron is $v_1 \ m/s$. If a photon of wavelength ${\lambda _2}$ is incident on the same metal,the speed of the ejected fastest electron is $v_2 \ m/s$. The value of $v_2^2 - v_1^2$ will be

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.

When a certain metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$,the stopping potential for photoelectric current is $3V_0$. When the same surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. The threshold wavelength for this surface for the photoelectric effect is:
