Radiation of wavelength $300 \ nm$ and intensity $100 \ W \ m^{-2}$ falls on the surface of a photosensitive material. If $2 \%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,the number of photoelectrons emitted from an area of $2 \ cm^2$ of the surface per second is nearly:

  • A
    $15 \times 10^{11}$
  • B
    $6.04 \times 10^{14}$
  • C
    $1.5 \times 10^{12}$
  • D
    $60.4 \times 10^{15}$

When light of wavelength $\lambda$ falls on the emitter of a photocell,the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons is $V$. If the incident wavelength is changed to $\frac{2\lambda}{3}$,the maximum speed of the emitted photoelectrons will be:

When photons of wavelength $\lambda_1$ are incident on an isolated sphere,the corresponding stopping potential is found to be $V$. When photons of wavelength $\lambda_2$ are used,the corresponding stopping potential is thrice that of the above value. If light of wavelength $\lambda_3$ is used,then find the stopping potential for this case.

The beam of light has three wavelengths $4144 \,\mathring A$,$4972 \,\mathring A$,and $6216 \,\mathring A$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times 10^{-5} \, W/m^2$ equally distributed amongst the three wavelengths. The beam falls normally on an area of $1 \, cm^2$ of a clean metallic surface with a work function of $2.3 \, eV$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each energetically capable photon ejects one electron. Calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated in $2 \, s$.
