The frequency and work function of an incident photon are $\nu$ and $\phi_0$. If $\nu_0$ is the threshold frequency,then the necessary condition for the emission of photoelectrons is:

  • A
    $\nu < \nu_0$
  • B
    $\nu = \frac{\nu_0}{2}$
  • C
    $\nu \ge \nu_0$
  • D
    None of these

Statement $-1$: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $V_0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is $K_{max}$. When the ultraviolet light is replaced by $X$-rays, both $V_0$ and $K_{max}$ increase.
Statement $-2$: Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.
