The electric field component of an $EM$ radiation varies with time as $E = a(\cos \omega_{0} t + \sin \omega t \cos \omega_{0} t)$, where '$a$' is a constant, $\omega = 10^{15} \text{ s}^{-1}$, and $\omega_{0} = 5 \times 10^{15} \text{ s}^{-1}$.

When a point source of monochromatic light is at a distance of $0.2 \ m$ from a photoelectric cell,the stopping potential and saturation photocurrent are $0.6 \ V$ and $18 \ mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed $0.6 \ m$ away from the photoelectric cell,then:

Statement $1$: $A$ metal surface is irradiated by monochromatic light of frequency $v > v_0$. The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency of the incident light is doubled, then $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ will also be doubled. Statement $2$: The stopping potential and maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface depend linearly on the frequency of the incident light.
