Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R)$.
Assertion $(A) :$ Emission of electrons in photoelectric effect can be suppressed by applying a sufficiently negative electric potential to the photoemissive substance.
Reason $(R) :$ $A$ negative electric potential, which stops the emission of electrons from the surface of a photoemissive substance, varies linearly with frequency of incident radiation.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:

The retarding potential necessary to stop the emission of photoelectrons,when a target material of work function $1.24 eV$ is irradiated with light of wavelength $4.36 \times 10^{-7} m$ is (in $eV$)

$A$ and $B$ are two metals with threshold frequencies $1.8 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$ and $2.2 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$. Two identical photons of energy $0.825 \ eV$ each are incident on them. Then photoelectrons are emitted by (Take $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$)

What is the stopping potential when a metal with a work function of $0.6 \ eV$ is illuminated with light of $2 \ eV$ (in $V$)?

The threshold wavelength of a metal is $400 \ nm$. The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons is $1.5 \ eV$. Find the wavelength of the incident photon in $\mathring{A}$.
