Detailed Solution

Let N be the number of photoelectrons per second.

 Intensity =N× energy of one photon I=Nhcλ

 Number of incident photons,

         Ni=hc    =108×365×1096.63×1034×3×108=18.35×109

Number of photon Nab absorbed by the surface per unit area per unit time (i.e., absorbed flux),

         Nab=0.8×18.35×109=1.47×1010m2s1

 Emitted flux = No. of electrons emitted m2s1=1.47×1010m2s1

 Power absorbed per m2=0.8× Incident intensity 

         =0.8×108=8×10-9 Wm2

From Einstein's photoelectric equation,

         Kmax=W0=hcλW0          =12403651.6          =3.4-1.6=1.80 eV
