A beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity \(6.4 \times 10^{-5}\; \mathrm{W} / \mathrm{cm}^{2}\) is comprised of wavelength, \(\lambda=310 \;\mathrm{nm} .\) It falls normally on a metal (work function \(\varphi=2 \;\mathrm{eV}\) ) of surface area of \(1\; \mathrm{cm}^{2} .\) If one in \(10^{3}\) photons ejects an electron, total number of electrons ejected in \(1 \;s\) is \(10^{\mathrm{x}}\).then \(\mathrm{x}\) is \(\left(\mathrm{hc}=1240\; \mathrm{eV} \mathrm{nm}, 1\; \mathrm{eV}=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \;\mathrm{J}\right)\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(11\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Power incident \(P=I \times A\)

\(\mathrm{n}=\mathrm{no} .\) of photons incident/second

\(\mathrm{nE}_{\mathrm{ph}}=\mathrm{IA}\)

\(\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{IA}}{\mathrm{E}_{\mathrm{ph}}}\)

\(\mathrm{n}=\frac{\mathrm{IA}}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda}\right)}=\frac{6.4 \times 10^{-5} \times 1}{\frac{1240}{310} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}\)

\(\mathrm{n}=10^{+14}\) per second

since efficiency \(=10^{-3}\)

no. of electrons emitted \(=10^{+11}\) per second.

\(\mathrm{x}=11\)
