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 electric 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:

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If the photoelectron emitted from the surface has mass $m$ and de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda_{d}$,then

The work function of metals is in the range of $2 eV$ to $5 eV$. Find which of the following wavelengths of light cannot be used for the photoelectric effect (in $nm$)? (Consider, Planck constant $= 4 \times 10^{-15} eVs$, velocity of light $= 3 \times 10^{8} m/s$)
