Photons of wavelength emitted by a source of power P incident on a photo cell. If the current produced in the cell is I , then the percentage of incident photons which produce current in the photo cell is. (where, h is Planck's constant and c is the speed of light in vacuum)
Options
- A100 e P c
- B100 e P I h c
- C100 / h e P_C
- D100 / h c e P
Correct answer
D. 100 / h c e P
Step-by-step solution
In photoemission, only one electron can produce one photon. So, if only x % of incident photons can produce electrons, then I= n t = 100 I h c e P
