Assertion : Photosensitivity of a metal is high if its work function is small.
Reason : Work function $= hf_0$ where $f_0$ is the threshold frequency.

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ strikes a photoelectric surface and electrons are ejected with kinetic energy $K$. If $K$ is to be increased to twice its original value,the wavelength must be changed to $\lambda'$ such that :-
