The particle nature and wave nature of electromagnetic waves and electrons can be demonstrated by which of the following?

Photo cells are used for the:

Assertion: If the speed of a charged particle increases,both the mass and the charge increase.
Reason: If $m_0$ is the rest mass and $m$ is the mass at velocity $v$,then $m = \frac{m_0}{\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}}$,where $c$ is the speed of light.

Given below are two statements:
Statement $I$: Out of microwaves,infrared rays,and ultraviolet rays,ultraviolet rays are the most effective for the emission of electrons from a metallic surface.
Statement $II$: Above the threshold frequency,the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons is inversely proportional to the frequency of the incident light.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct answer from the options given below:

In a photocell,bichromatic light of wavelengths $2475 \ \mathring{A}$ and $6000 \ \mathring{A}$ is incident on a cathode whose work function is $4.8 \ eV$. If a uniform magnetic field of $3 \times 10^{-5} \ T$ exists parallel to the plate,the radius of the path described by the photoelectron will be ............ $cm$ (mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$).
