In an experiment on the photoelectric effect, the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons is plotted as a function of the frequency of incident radiation. The graph is:
 
1. a straight line with a positive intercept on the \(x\)-axis (frequency)
2. a straight line with a positive intercept on the \(y\)-axis (kinetic energy)
3. a parabola
4. a hyperbola
