With increasing biasing voltage of a photodiode,the magnitude of photoelectric current

Assertion: $A$ $p-n$ junction with reverse bias can be used as a photo-diode to measure light intensity.
Reason: In a reverse bias condition,the current is small but is more sensitive to changes in incident light intensity.
