Answer :- Only Statement-1 is true
 
Energy of photon = hν ; Momentum of photon p = h/λ = ( h ν ) / c 
 
where h is planck's constant, ν is frequency , λ is wavelength and c is velocity of photon .
 
Hence photons of same frequency have same energy and momentum .

When photon of energy E is absorbed in metal, part of its energy is used lo free the electron from metal surface and
remaining part is used to give kineteic energy of electron that has come out of metal surface
