Solution

The correct option is D Statement -1 is true, Statement-2 is true; Statement -2 is not correct explanation for statement-1
Photoelectric Law,
KEmax=hvWo

The energy of the electron coming out predicted from the formula is the maximum Kinetic energy it can have, i.e it puts an upper limit to the KE of the e.
The KE of the electrons can lie anywhere in
KE ϵ (0,KEmax)

Both statement I and II are true, but even it radiation of single wavelength is incident on photosensitive surface, electrons of different KE will be emitted.
