Detailed Solution

Energy incident on the platinum surface per second or  power  =IA=2.0×1×104=2×104J/s
The energy of each photon E  =10.6eV   =10.6×1.6×1019J
The number of photons incident on the surface  =2×10410.6×1.6×1019persec.
As only 53% can eject electrons, and so photo electrons ejected per second  =0.53[2×10610.6×1.6×1019]=6.25×1011
According to Einstein photoelectric equation   Kmax=EW0=10.656  =5eV.
The minimum kinetic energy of photoelectrons will be zero.
