The maximum wavelength of light which causes photoelectric emission from a photosensitive metal surface is $\lambda_0$. Two light beams of wavelengths $\frac{\lambda_0}{3}$ and $\frac{\lambda_0}{9}$ are incident on the metal surface. The ratio of the maximum velocities of the emitted photoelectrons is

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

In a photoelectric experiment,if the wavelength of incident radiation is reduced from $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ to $4000 \ \mathring{A}$ while keeping the intensity of radiation constant,then:
