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). The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential are $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ respectively. If the frequency incident on the surface is doubled,both the $K_{max}$ and $V_0$ are also doubled.
Statement-$2$: The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light.

  • A
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • B
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is true; Statement-$2$ is not the correct explanation of Statement-$1$.
  • C
    Statement-$1$ is false,Statement-$2$ is true.
  • D
    Statement-$1$ is true,Statement-$2$ is false.
