3. In a historical experiment to determine Planck's constant, a metal surface was irradiated with light of different wavelengths. The emitted photoelectron energies were measured by applying a stopping potential. The relevant data for the wavelength $$\left( \lambda \right)$$ of incident light and the corresponding stopping potential $$\left( {{V_0}} \right)$$ are given below :
$$\lambda \left( {\mu m} \right)$$ $${V_0}$$  (Volt)

10. 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.
Answer :   Statement-1 is false, Statement-2 is true.
