When the electromagnetic radiations of frequencies $4 \times 10^{15} \,Hz$ and $6 \times 10^{15} \,Hz$ fall on the same metal in different experiments,the ratio of maximum kinetic energy of electrons liberated is $1: 3$. The threshold frequency for the metal is ............... $\times 10^{15} Hz$.

Light of wavelength '$\lambda$' which is less than threshold wavelength is incident on a photosensitive material. If incident wavelength is decreased so that emitted photoelectrons are moving with some velocity, then the stopping potential:

$A$ photon of energy $3.4 \ eV$ is incident on a metal surface with a work function of $2 \ eV$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is .......... $eV$.

In the photoelectric emission process from a metal with a work function of $1.8\, eV$,the kinetic energy of the most energetic electrons is $0.5\, eV$. The corresponding stopping potential is ......... $V$.

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.
