1. Assertion (A): The photoelectric effect demonstrates the particle nature of light. Reason (R): The number of photoelectrons emitted is proportional to the frequency of the light. Which is correct?

Both A and R are true, and R correctly explains A

Both A and R are true, but R does not correctly explain A

The photoelectric effect genuinely does reveal light’s particle nature. But Reason R is false — the number of photoelectrons depends on light’s intensity, not its frequency, which instead governs each electron’s individual energy.
