The definition of candela specifies:
- $A = 540 \times 10^{12}$ hertz is the frequency of the monochromatic light.
- $B = 683$ is the luminous efficacy in terms of watts per steradian.
These values are based on the standard SI definition of candela.
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:
