When a certain metal surface is illuminated with light of frequency $v$, the stopping potential for photoelectric current is $V_{0}$. When the same surface is illuminated by light of frequency $\frac{v}{2}$, the stopping potential is $\frac{V_{0}}{4}$. The threshold frequency for photoelectric emission is:

$A$ ray of light with wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on three different photoelectric cells namely $1$, $2$ and $3$. The threshold wavelengths of these photoelectric cells are $\lambda_1$, $\lambda_2$ and $\lambda_3$, respectively, and the magnitudes of the stopping potentials of these cells are $V_1$, $V_2$ and $V_3$, respectively. The relation between $\lambda$ and the threshold wavelengths is $\lambda_1 < \lambda$, $\lambda_2 > \lambda$ and $\lambda_3 >> \lambda$. The correct option is:

Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion $A$ and the other is labelled as Reason $R$.
$Assertion$ $A$ : Number of photons increases with increase in frequency of light.
$Reason$ $R$ : Maximum kinetic energy of emitted electrons increases with the frequency of incident radiation.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :
