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 \(E \propto \frac{1}{L}\)

In an inert gas discharge tube, \(2.9\times 10^{18}\) positive ions \((e^+)\) move to the right through a cross-section of the tube every second, while \(1.2\times 10^{18}\) negative ions \((e^-)\) move to the left in the same time. What is the magnitude of the current through the tube?
1. \(0.656~\text A\) 2. \(2.384 \times 10^{-3} ~\text A\)
3. \(2.384 \times 10^{-6} ~\text A\) 4. \(2.384 \times 10^{-9} ~\text A\)
