J.J. Thomson's cathode-ray tube experiment
demonstrated that:
1. cathode rays are streams of negatively charged ions.
2. all the mass of an atom is essentially in the nucleus.
3. the \(\frac{e}{m}\) of electrons is much greater
than the \(\frac{e}{m}\) of protons.
4. the \(\frac{e}{m}\) ratio of the cathode ray particles changes when a different gas is
placed in the discharge tube.

A metallic ball (work function: \(2\) eV) is irradiated with light consisting of photons of wavelength \(200\) nm. The ball has an initial charge, giving it a potential \(1\) V. Take the product of Planck's constant and velocity of light, hc as \(1240\) eV-nm. The final potential of the ball, when photoemission practically stops, is: 
1. \(2\)
2. \(3.2\)
3. \(4.2\)
4. \(5.2\) V

A fraction \(f\) of the incident energy in a beam of light of wavelength \(\lambda\) is absorbed by a metallic surface and causes photoemission. If the power of the beam falling on the surface is \(P\), then the maximum photocurrent is:
(\(e\) is electronic charge, \(h\) is Planck's constant, \(c\) is the velocity of light in vacuum)
1. \(\dfrac{\lambda{P}}{h c} f\) 2. \(\dfrac{2\lambda{P}}{h c} f\)
3. \(\dfrac{\lambda{P}}{h c} f e\) 4. \(\dfrac{2\lambda{P}}{h c} f e\)
