    $2.41 \times 10^{-25} kgms^{-1}$
  • B
    $2.31 \times 10^{-25} kgms^{-1}$

An isolated metallic sphere is illuminated by light of $4\,eV$ photon energy. If the work function of the metal is $2\,eV$,then the minimum potential of the sphere so that no photoelectrons are ejected is ................ $V$.

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:
