Statement $(I)$ : By increasing the potential difference between cathode and anode continuously in a photoelectric experiment,the photocurrent always increases continuously.
Statement $(II)$ : If two photons $A$ and $B$ of energies $2.5 \ eV$ and $3.5 \ eV$ respectively fall on a metal surface of work function $2.0 \ eV$,then the ratio of maximum kinetic energies emitted between $A$ and $B$ is $3$.
Statement $(III)$ : The maximum energy needed by an electron to come out from metal surface is called the work function of the metal.
