Question:medium

Find the number of photons emitted per second by a 25W source of monochromatic light of wavelength 6600AA. What is the photoelectric current assuming 3% efficiency for photoelectric effect?

Show Hint

Photon energy depends only on wavelength, not on intensity.

  • \(\dfrac{25}{3}\times10^{19}\,\text{s}^{-1},\,0.4\,\text{A}\)
  • \(\dfrac{25}{4}\times10^{19}\,\text{s}^{-1},\,6.2\,\text{A}\)
  • \(\dfrac{25}{2}\times10^{19}\,\text{s}^{-1},\,0.8\,\text{A}\)
  • None of these
