When a monochromatic point source of light is at a distance of $0.2\, m$ from a photoelectric cell,the cut-off voltage and the saturation current are respectively $0.6\, V$ and $18.0\, mA$. If the same source is placed $0.6\, m$ away from the photoelectric cell,then

Assertion : Photoelectric saturation current increases with the increase in frequency of incident light.
Reason : Energy of incident photons increases with increase in frequency and as a result photoelectric current increases.

When yellow light is incident on a surface,no electrons are emitted,while green light can emit them. If red light is incident on the surface,then:
