There are materials which absorb photons of shorter wavelength and emit photons of longer wavelength. Can there be stable substances which absorb photons of larger wavelength and emit light of shorter wavelength. 

A sensor is exposed for time $t$ to a lamp of power $P$ placed at a distance $l$. The sensor has a circular opening that is $4d$ in diameter. Assuming all energy of the lamp is given off as light, the number of photons entering the sensor if the wavelength of light is $\lambda $ is $(l >> d)$

Given below are two statements

Statement$-I :$ Two photons having equal linear momenta have equal wavelengths.

Statement$-II :$ If the wavelength of photon is decreased, then the momentum and energy of a photon will also decrease.

In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below.
