Dual Nature Of Light Question 183

Question: A metal plate of area $ 1\times {{10}^{-4}}m^{2} $ is illuminated by a radiation of intensity $ 16mW/m^{2}. $ The work function of the metal is 5 eV. The energy of the incident photons is 10 eV and only 10% of it produces photo electrons. The number of emitted photo electrons per second is $ [ 1eV=1.6\times {{10}^{-19}}J ] $

Solution:

Answer: $ ( 10^{11} ) $
