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.

Radiation of two photon energies,twice and five times the work function of a metal,are incident successively on the metal surface. The ratio of the maximum velocity of photoelectrons emitted in the two cases is:

The threshold frequency of potassium is $3 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$. The work function is ...... .
