Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other one is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Emission of electrons in the 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 the frequency of incident radiation.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Three friends, P, Q, and R, are solving a puzzle with statements:
(i) If P is a knight, Q is a knave.
(ii) If Q is a knight, R is a spy.
(iii) If R is a knight, P is a knave. Knights always tell the truth, knaves always lie, and spies sometimes tell the truth. If each friend is either a knight, knave, or spy, who is the knight?
