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.
