JEE Main 29 June 2022, Shift 1, Physics Q37

Question 37 of 90 in this shift, Physics question 7 of 30, Section A.

Given below are two statements : one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R. Assertion A : The photoelectric effect does not takes place, if the energy of the incident radiation is less than the work function of a metal. Reason R : Kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is zero, if the energy of the incident radiation is equal to the work function of a metal. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
  1. (1)Both A and R are correct and R is the correct explanation of A
  2. (2)Both A and R are correct but R is not the correct explanation of AOfficial answer
  3. (3)A is correct but R is not correct
  4. (4)A is not correct but R is correct
