Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Stopping potential in photoelectric effect does not depend on the power of the light source.
Statement $II$: For a given metal,the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron depends on the wavelength of the incident light.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.

  • A
    Statement $I$ is incorrect but statement $II$ is correct.
  • B
    Both Statement $I$ and Statement $II$ are incorrect.
  • C
    Statement $I$ is correct but statement $II$ is incorrect.
  • D
