A beam of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) and with illumination \(L\) falls on a clean surface of sodium. If \(N\) photoelectrons are emitted each with kinetic energy \(E\), then:
1. \(N \propto L \) and \(E \propto L \)
2. \(N \propto L \) and \(E \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\)
3. \(N \propto \lambda\) and \(E \propto L \)
4. \(N \propto \frac{1}{\lambda}\) and \(E \propto \frac{1}{L}\)
