The work function of a metal surface is \(2\) eV. When the light of frequency \(f\) is incident on the surface, the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted is \(5\) eV. If the frequency of the incident light is increased to \(4f\), then the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron emitted will be:
1. \(20\) eV
2. \(22\) eV
3. \(26\) eV
4. \(28\) eV
