Electrons ejected from the surface of a metal,when light of a certain frequency is incident on it,are stopped fully by a retarding potential of $3 \ V$. The photoelectric effect on this metallic surface begins at a frequency of $6 \times 10^{14} \ s^{-1}$. The frequency of the incident light in $s^{-1}$ is: [Planck's constant $= 6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,charge on the electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$]

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:
