Q.

A beam of light consists of four wavelengths 4000 Å, 4800Å, 6000 Å and 7000 Å, each of intensity 1.5  x 10-3 W m-2. The beam falls normally on an area 10-4 m2, of a clean metallic surface of work function 1.9 eV. Assuming no loss of light energy (i.e., each capable photon emits one electron), the number of photoelectrons liberated per second is y × 1012, where the value of y is _______.

Detailed Solution

 E1=124004000 = 3.1 eV, E2=124004800 = 2.58 eV, E3=124006000 = 2.06 eV and E4=124007000 = 1.77 eV

Energy of photon (E4) is less than work function. Therefore, light of wavelengths 4000 Å, 4800 Å, and  6000 Å can only emit photoelectrons.  Number of photoelectrons emitted per second = Number of photons incident per second  = I1A1E1 + I2A2E2 +I3A3E3  = IA1E1+1E2+1E3   = 1.5 x 10-310-41.6 x 10-1913.1+12.58+12.06 = 1.12 x 1012
