question mark

When a beam of 106 eV photon of intensity 2.0 W/m2 falls on a platinum surface of area 1.0x 10-4 m2 and work function 5.6 eV, 0.53% of the incident photons eject photoelectrons. Find the number of photoelectrons emitted per second and their minimum and maximum energies

Hello Student,
Please find the answer to your question
No. of photons /sec
= Energy incident on platinum surface per second / Energy of on photon
No. of photon incident per second
= 2 x 10 x 10-4 / 10. 6 x 1.6 x 10-19 = 1. 18 x 1014
As 0.53% of incident photon can eject photoelectrons
∴ No. of photoelectrons ejected per second
= 1.18 x 1014 x 0.53 / 100 = 6.25 x 1011
Minimum energy = 0 eV,
Maximum energy = (10.6 – 5.6 ) eV = 5eV
Thanks
