$A$ source of variable potential difference is connected across a photoelectric cell, and the photoelectric current is plotted against the applied potential difference. The graph with the broken line represents the initial curve of current versus applied potential difference. If the frequency of the incident light is increased and its intensity is reduced, which curve now represents the situation?

Assertion : The photoelectrons produced by a monochromatic light beam incident on a metal surface have a spread in their kinetic energies.
Reason : The work function of the metal varies as a function of depth from the surface.
