This question has statement - 1 and statement - 2 of the four choice 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 gt 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 photoelectron emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light

An experimental setup of verification of photoelectric effect is shown in the diagram. The voltage across the electrode is measured with the help of an ideal voltmetar, and which can be varied by moving jockey 'J' on the potentiometer wire. The battery used in potentiometer circuit is of 20 V and its internal resistance is 2omega . The resistance of 100 cm long potentiometer wire is 8 omega . The photo current is measured with the help of an ideal ammeter. Two plates of potassium oxide of area 50 cm^(2) at separation 0.5 mm are used in the vacuum tube. Photo current in the circuit is very small so we can treat potentiometer circuit an indepdent circuit. The wavelength of various colours is as follows : |{:("Light",underset("Violet")(1),underset("Blue")(2),underset("Green")(3),underset("Yellow")(4),underset("Orange")(5),underset("Red")(6)),(lambda "in" Årarr,4000-4500,4500-5000,5000-5500,5500-6000,6000-6500,6500-7000):}| When other light falls on the anode plate the ammeter reading remains zero till, jockey till, jockey is moved from the end P to the middle point on the wire PQ. Thereafter the deflection is recorded in the ammeter. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electron is :
