In the experiment of photoelectric effect, $K_{max}$ for a photoelectron is $K_0$. If the frequency of light is doubled, then $K_{max}$ is $3K_0$. What would be the value of $K_{max}$ if the frequency of light is tripled? (in terms of $K_0$)

In the photoelectric effect,the stopping potential $(V_0)$ versus frequency $(\nu)$ curve is plotted. ($h$ is Planck's constant and $\phi_0$ is the work function of the metal)
$(A)$ $V_0$ versus $\nu$ is linear.
$(B)$ The slope of the $V_0$ versus $\nu$ curve $= \frac{\phi_0}{h}$.

$A$ photosensitive metallic surface is illuminated alternately with lights of wavelength $3100 \mathring A$ and $6200 \mathring A$. It is observed that the maximum speeds of the photoelectrons in the two cases are in the ratio $2:1$. The work function of the metal is $(hc = 12400 \, eV \mathring A)$.

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:

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