Photo Electric Effect
Question

when a point light source, of power P emitting monochromatic light of wavelengthλ is kept at a distance α from a photo-sensitive surface of work-function W0 and area A which of the expressions is wrong 

Moderate
Solution

The number of photons released per unit time is given by
n= Power  energy of photon =P(hc/λ) These photons are spread out in all directions over an ara 4πa2 The share of an area ,4 is a fraction A/4πa2 of total number of photonc emitted '. number of photons strilJng the surface per unit time =PAλ/4πhca2 The maximum energy of the emitted photo-electron is Emax=hvW0=hcλW0 =1λhcλW0 Further eVs=Emax or Vs=Emaxe=1λehcλW0 where Ys = stopping potential. For photo emission to be possible, we must have hW0 hcλW0  or  λhcW0  So, permitted range of values of λ is  0λhc/W0
