In an experimental set up to study the photoelectric effect a point source of light of power 3.2 mW is used. The source emits mono energetic photons of energy 5 eV and is located at a distance d =0.8 ~m from centre of a stationary metallic sphere of work function W =3.0 eV . The radius of the sphere is R =8 ~mm . Assume that the sphere is isolated and photo electrons are instantly swept away after emission. Also assu
Options
- AThe de Broglie wave length of fastest moving photoelectron is nearly 8.7 ~A ^0
- BIt is observed that after some time emission of photoelectrons from the surface of metal sphere is stopped, th
- CTime after which photo electric emission stops is nearly 111 s
- DThe light source emits 4 10¹⁵ photons per sec
Correct answer
D. The light source emits 4 10¹⁵ photons per sec
