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. \(3.2\)
