$A$ metal surface is illuminated by light of a given intensity and frequency, causing photoelectric emission. If the intensity of the incident light is reduced to $1/4$ of its original value, what will be the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons?

Given below are two statements:
Statement-$I$: The figure shows the variation of stopping potential $(V_0)$ with frequency $(v)$ for two photosensitive materials $M_1$ and $M_2$. The slope gives the value of $\frac{h}{e}$,where $h$ is Planck's constant and $e$ is the charge of an electron.
