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.
