- A body of mass \( m \) connected to a massless and unstretchable string goes in vertical circle of radius \( R \) under gravity \( g \). The other end of the string is fixed at the center of the circle. If velocity at top of circular path is \( v = \sqrt{n g R} \), where \( n \geq 1 \), then the ratio of kinetic energy of the body at bottom to that at top of the circle is:

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 electron 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 light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:- JEE Main - 2025
