A 5 watt source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 5000 Å . When placed 0.5 ~m away, it liberates photoclectrons from a photosensitive metallic surface. When the source is moved to a distance of 1.0 ~m , the number of photoelectrons liberated will be reduced by a factor of :
Options
- A8
- B16
- C2
- D4
Correct answer
D. 4
Step-by-step solution
Intensity is given by I= p 4 d^2 where p= power of source d= distance We know (assume) that light to spread out uniformly is all direction i.e. spherical source. aligned & I 1 d^2 or I₁ I₂ = d₂^2 d₁^2 & or I₁ I₂ = ( 1 0.5 )^2 & I₁ I₂ =4 & or I₂= I₁ 4 aligned
