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 take 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.
