In a photoelectric experiment,the potential difference $V$ that must be maintained between the illuminated surface and the collector so as just to prevent any electron from reaching the collector is determined for different frequencies $f$ of the incident illumination. The graph obtained is shown. The maximum kinetic energy of the electrons emitted at frequency $f_1$ is

$A$ photosensitive surface has work function $\phi$. If a photon of energy $3 \phi$ falls on this surface, the electron comes out with a maximum velocity of $4 \times 10^6 \,m/s$. When the photon energy is increased to $7 \phi$, the maximum velocity of the photoelectron will be:

The following graphs show the variation of stopping potential $(V_s)$ corresponding to the frequency of incident radiation $(f)$ for a given metal. The correct variation is shown in graph ($f_0 =$ Threshold frequency):
