2. \(\nu>2\ \nu_0\)
3. \(\nu<\nu_0\)
4. \(\nu<\nu_0/2\)

Given below are two statements:
| Assertion (A): | The work function of aluminium is \(4.2~\text{eV}\). Emission of electrons will not be possible if two photons, each of energy \(2.5~\text{eV}\), strike an electron of aluminium. |
| Reason (R): | For photoelectric emission, the energy of each photon should be greater than the work function of aluminium. |
| 1. | Both (A) and (R) are True and (R) is the correct explanation of (A). |
| 2. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A). |
| 3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
| 4. | Both (A) and (R) are False. |

Why does the wave theory of light fail to explain the photoelectric effect?
| 1. | The photoelectric effect does not occur if the frequency of light is below a certain threshold, regardless of its intensity. |
| 2. | The maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is unaffected by the intensity of the radiation. |
| 3. | There is no observable time delay between the radiation striking the surface and the emission of electrons. |
| 4. | All of the above factors. |
