The metallic surface is illuminated with monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and the stopping potential for the photoelectric current is $5V_0$. When the same metallic surface is illuminated with light of wavelength $2\lambda$,the stopping potential is $V_0$. What is the threshold wavelength for the surface?

The work function of caesium is $2.14 \ eV$. Find
$(a)$ the threshold frequency for caesium,and
$(b)$ the wavelength of the incident light if the photocurrent is brought to zero by a stopping potential of $0.60 \ V$.

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.

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ strikes a photoelectric surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy $K$. If $K$ is to be increased to twice its original value,the wavelength must be changed to $\lambda'$ such that :-
