Five elements $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ have work functions $1.2 \, eV, 2.4 \, eV, 3.6 \, eV, 4.8 \, eV$ and $6 \, eV$ respectively. If light of wavelength $4000 \, Å$ is allowed to fall on these elements, then photoelectrons are emitted by:

$A$ cobalt $(Co)$ plate is placed at a distance of $1 \,m$ from a point source of power $1 \,W$. Assume a circular area of the plate of radius $r = 1 \,Å$ is exposed to the radiation and ejects photoelectrons. The light energy is considered to be spread uniformly and the work function of cobalt is $5 \,eV$. The minimum time the target should be exposed to the light source to eject a photoelectron (assuming no reflection losses) is: (in $\,s$)
