Assertion: If the speed of a charged particle increases,both the mass and the charge increase.
Reason: If $m_0$ is the rest mass and $m$ is the mass at velocity $v$,then $m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$,where $c$ is the speed of light.

When a monochromatic point source of light is placed at $0.1\, m$ from a photocell,the cut-off voltage and saturation current are $0.8\, V$ and $24\, mA$ respectively. If the same source is placed at $0.2\, m$ away from the photocell,then the cut-off voltage and saturation current will be:

Consider the following statements $A$ and $B$ and identify the correct choice in the given answers.
$A$. Tightly bound electrons of target material scatter $X$-ray photon,resulting in the Compton effect.
$B$. Photoelectric effect takes place with free electrons.

Some laws/processes are given in Column $I$. Match these with the physical phenomena given in Column $II$.

In the photoelectric effect:
$A.$ The photocurrent is proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.
