Physics Question from JEE Main 2025 · 29 January, Shift 1

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 light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

  • A

    Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)

  • B

    (A) is true but (R) is false

  • C

    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)

  • D

    (A) is false but (R) is true
