$K_1$ and $K_2$ are the maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons emitted from a surface of a given material for light of wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$, respectively. If $\lambda_1 = 2\lambda_2$, then the work function of the material is given by:

When photons of energy $h \nu$ fall on a photosensitive surface of work function $E_0$,photoelectrons of maximum kinetic energy $k$ are emitted. If the frequency of radiation is doubled,the maximum kinetic energy will be equal to ($h=$ Planck's constant).

The maximum wavelength of radiation that can produce the photoelectric effect in a certain metal is $200 \ nm$. The maximum kinetic energy acquired by an electron due to radiation of wavelength $100 \ nm$ will be .............. $eV$.

The threshold wavelength for the photoelectric effect on sodium is $5000 \ Å$. Its work function is:

Statement $1$: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is $V_0$ and the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is $K_{max}$. When $X$-rays are used instead of ultraviolet light, both $V_0$ and $K_{max}$ increase.
Statement $2$: Photoelectrons are emitted with a range of speeds from $0$ to a maximum value because the incident light contains a range of frequencies.
