(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.

(d) If the assertion and reason both are false.

Answer

(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of the assertion.

When stopping potential is applied in an experiment on photoelectric effect, no photocurrent is observed. This means that:
  1. The emission of photoelectrons is stopped.
  2. The photoelectrons are emitted but are reabsorbed by the emitter metal.
  3. The photoelectrons are accumulated near the collector plate.
  4. The photoelectrons are dispersed from the sides of the apparatus.
