In case of photoelectric emission from a certain metal, the cutoff frequency is $\nu$. If radiation of frequency $3\nu$ is incident on the metal plate, the maximum possible velocity of the emitted electrons will be ($m$ = mass of electron, $h$ = Planck's constant).

The figure shows different graphs between stopping potential $(V_0)$ and frequency $(\nu)$ for photosensitive surfaces of cesium,potassium,sodium,and lithium. The plots are parallel. The correct ranking of the targets according to their work function,with the greatest first,is:

Light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on a metal having work function $\frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$. Photoelectric effect will take place only if ($\lambda_0$ is the threshold wavelength).

Assertion : In the process of photoelectric emission, all emitted electrons do not have the same kinetic energy.
Reason : If radiation falling on the photosensitive surface of a metal consists of different wavelengths, then the energy acquired by electrons absorbing photons of different wavelengths shall be different.

When radiation of wavelength $\lambda$ is incident on a photocell,the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons is $v$. What will be the maximum velocity of the photoelectrons when radiation of wavelength $3\lambda/4$ is incident on the photocell?
