A silver sphere of radius 1 cm and work function 4.7eV is suspended from an insulating thread in free space. It is under continuous illumination of 200 nm wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted, the sphere get charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is A×10Z (where 1A<10 ). Find the value of Z.

This question has statement-1 and statement -2 of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements. A metallic surface is irradiated by a monochromatic light of frequency v>v0 (the threshold frequency). The maximum kinetic energy and stopping potential are Kmax and V0 respectively. If the frequency incident on the surface is doubled, both the Kmax and V0 are doubled.

Statement-II The maximum kinetic energy and the stopping potential of photoelectrons emitted from a surface are linearly dependent on the frequency of incident light:

Statement - I: When ultraviolet light is incident on a photocell, its stopping potential is V0 and the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is Kmax. When the ultraviolet light is replaced by X -rays, both V0 and Kmax increase. Statement - II: Photoelectrons are emitted with speeds ranging from zero to a maximum value because of the range of frequencies present in the incident light.
