Which one of the following four graphs showing lines $P, Q, R$ and $S$ between maximum kinetic energy $(E)$ and intensity of incident light $(I)$ is correct?

The surface of a certain metal is first illuminated with light of wavelength $\lambda_1 = 350 \ nm$ and then with light of wavelength $\lambda_2 = 540 \ nm$. It is found that the maximum speed of the photoelectrons in the two cases differs by a factor of $2$. The work function of the metal (in $eV$) is close to: (Energy of photon $= \frac{1240}{\lambda \text{ (in } nm)} \ eV$)

Two radiations of photon energies $1 \; eV$ and $2.5 \; eV$ successively illuminate a photosensitive metallic surface of work function $0.5 \; eV$. The ratio of the maximum speeds of the emitted electrons is
