JEE Main 2025 — 29 January, Morning Shift — Question 32

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 electron 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 correct answer from the options given below

  1. Option A:

    (A) is false but (R) is true.

  2. Option B:

    (A) is true but (R) is false.

  3. Option C:

    Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)(\mathbf{A}).

  4. Option D:

    Both (A) and (R) are true but ( R\mathbf{R} ) is not the correct explanation of (A).

    Correct

Answer: D

Step-by-step solution

True (B) : True but not correct explanation
