$A$ photoelectric surface is illuminated successively by monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ and $\frac{\lambda}{2}$. If the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons in the first case is one-third that in the second case,the work function of the surface of the material is ($c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant).

Two photons with energies three times and nine times the work function of a metal surface are incident on it. What is the ratio of the maximum velocities of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases?

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:

If the threshold wavelength of light for photoelectric emission to take place from a metal surface is $6250 \ \text{Å}$, then the work function of the metal is (Planck's constant $= 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ \text{Js}$) (in $\text{eV}$)

The graph shows the variation of stopping potential $V_o$ with the frequency $\nu$ of the incident radiation for three photosensitive metals $X_1, X_2$ and $X_3$. Which metal will emit photoelectrons with greater kinetic energy,for the same wavelength of incident radiation?
