$A$ copper ball of radius $1\, cm$ and work function $4.47\, eV$ is irradiated with ultraviolet radiation of wavelength $2500\, \mathring{A}$. The effect of irradiation results in the emission of electrons from the ball. Further,the ball will acquire charge,and due to this,there will be a finite value of the potential on the ball. The charge acquired by the ball is:

Explain: "For photoelectric emission, the frequency of incident radiation should be greater than the threshold frequency."

The maximum velocity of the photoelectron emitted by the metal surface is $V$. The charge and mass of the photoelectron are denoted by $e$ and $m$ respectively. The stopping potential in volts is:
