Assertion (A): Red light of any brightness may shine on a piece of potassium-metal but no photoelectrons are ejected but as soon as even a very weak yellow light shines on the potassium-metal, the photoelectric effect is observed.
Reason (R): The number of electrons ejected does depend upon the brightness of light and not on the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons.
