Solution

The correct option is B Both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion
Relation between kinetic energy and frequency is K.E+ϕ=hν.
here h = planck's constant h = 6.62×1034, ϕ=constant(Work function)
so, as we increases frequency of photon kinetic energy will increase.
numbers of ejected photo electrons depend on incident numbers of photons as we increases intensity numbers of photons per unit area will increase.
