Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion(A) : Emission of electrons in photoelectric effect can be suppressed by applying a sufficiently negative electron potential to the photoemissive substance.
Reason (R) : A negative electric potential, which stops the emission of electrons from the surface of a photoemissive substance, varies linearly with frequency of incident radiation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below: [2025]
(4)
Negative potential will slow the electrons and if it is sufficient, it will make the photocurrent zero.
