Photons of wavelength \(\lambda\) emitted by a source of power \(P\) incident on a photo cell. If the current produced in the cell is \(I\), then the percentage of incident photons which produce current in the photo cell is. (where, \(h\) is Planck's constant and \(c\) is the speed of light in vacuum)

  1. A \(\frac{100 e P c}{\ln \lambda}\)
  2. B \(\frac{100 e P \lambda}{I h c}\)
  3. C \(\frac{100 / h \lambda}{e P_C}\)
  4. D \(\frac{100 / h c}{e P \lambda}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(\frac{100 / h c}{e P \lambda}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In photoemission, only one electron can produce one photon. So, if only \(x \%\) of incident photons can produce electrons, then \[ I=\frac{n}{t}=\frac{100 \times I \times h c}{e P \lambda} \]
