    One milli watt of light of wavelength 4560 \[\overset{0}{\mathop{A}}\,\] is incident on a cesium surface of work function 1.9 eV. Given that quantum of efficiency of photoelectric emission is 0.5%, Planck constant \[h=6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s,\] velocity of light \[c=3\times {{10}^{8}}m/s,\]the photoelectric current liberated is :

    A)  \[1.84\times {{10}^{-6}}A\]                        

    B)  \[1.84\times {{10}^{-7}}A\]

    C)  \[1.84\times {{10}^{-5}}A\]                        

    D)  \[1.84\times {{10}^{-4}}A\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    From Plancks law, the energy of incident photon is \[E=nhv=\frac{nhc}{\lambda }\] where n is number of photons. \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n=\frac{E}{hc/\lambda }\] Given, \[E=1\text{ }mW={{10}^{-3}}W,\]                 \[h=6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}J-s,\]                 \[c=3\times {{10}^{8}}J-s,\]                 \[\lambda =4560{\AA}=4560\times {{10}^{-10}}m\] \[n=\frac{{{10}^{-3}}\times 4.56\times {{10}^{-7}}}{6.62\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}\]                 \[=2.29\times {{10}^{15}}\] Given, quantum efficiency = 0.5%. Hence, number of electrons liberated from surface is \[n=n\frac{0.5}{100}=1.15\times {{10}^{13}}\] \[\therefore \]  \[l=ne=1.15\times {{10}^{13}}\times 1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}\]                 \[i=1.84\times {{10}^{-6}}A\]
