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). If the incident frequency is now doubled, the photocurrent and the maximum kinetic energy are also doubled. Statement 2: The maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted from a surface is linearly dependent on the frequency of the incident light. The photocurrent depends only on the intensity of the incident light.

• A

  Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1.
• Correct answer
  B

  Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true.
• C

  Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
• D

  Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not the correct explanation of Statement 1.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
