Assertion : In the process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons do not have the same kinetic energy.
Reason : If radiation falling on the photosensitive surface of a metal consists of different wavelengths, then the energy acquired by electrons absorbing photons of different wavelengths shall be different.

The threshold wavelength for the photoelectric effect on sodium is $5000 \ Å$. Its work function is:

Consider the following statements regarding the photoelectric effect experiment:
$(I)$ Photoelectrons are emitted as soon as the metal is exposed to light.
$(II)$ There is a minimum frequency below which no photocurrent is observed.
$(III)$ The stopping potential is proportional to the frequency of light.
$(IV)$ The photocurrent varies linearly with the intensity of the light.
Which of the above statements indicate that light consists of quanta (photons) with energy proportional to frequency?

When the energy of the incident radiation is increased by $20\%$,the kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a metal surface increases from $0.5\, eV$ to $0.8\, eV$. The work function of the metal is ............. $eV$.
