Correct answer: C

  1. Given data

    • Area of metal plate: A=1×10−4 m2A = 1\times 10^{-4}\ \text{m}^2A=1×10−4 m2
    • Intensity of radiation: I=16 mW/m2=16×10−3 W/m2I = 16\ \text{mW/m}^2 = 16\times 10^{-3}\ \text{W/m}^2I=16 mW/m2=16×10−3 W/m2
    • Work function: ϕ=5 eV\phi = 5\ \text{eV}ϕ=5 eV
    • Energy of each incident photon: E=10 eVE = 10\ \text{eV}E=10 eV
    • Only 10%10\%10% of the incident energy produces photoelectrons.
  2. Power incident on the plate

    P=IA=(16×10−3)(1×10−4)P = IA = (16\times 10^{-3})(1\times 10^{-4})P=IA=(16×10−3)(1×10−4) P=16×10−7 W=1.6×10−6 J/sP = 16\times 10^{-7}\ \text{W} = 1.6\times 10^{-6}\ \text{J/s}P=16×10−7 W=1.6×10−6 J/s

  3. Useful power for photoelectric emission

    Since only 10%10\%10% of the incident energy is effective,

    Peff=0.1×1.6×10−6P_{\text{eff}} = 0.1\times 1.6\times 10^{-6}Peff​=0.1×1.6×10−6 Peff=1.6×10−7 J/sP_{\text{eff}} = 1.6\times 10^{-7}\ \text{J/s}Peff​=1.6×10−7 J/s

  4. Energy of one photon in joules

    1 eV=1.6×10−19 J1\ \text{eV} = 1.6\times 10^{-19}\ \text{J}1 eV=1.6×10−19 J Therefore, E=10 eV=10×1.6×10−19=1.6×10−18 JE = 10\ \text{eV} = 10\times 1.6\times 10^{-19} = 1.6\times 10^{-18}\ \text{J}E=10 eV=10×1.6×10−19=1.6×10−18 J

  5. Number of photons effectively producing photoelectrons per second

    n=PeffE=1.6×10−71.6×10−18n = \frac{P_{\text{eff}}}{E} = \frac{1.6\times 10^{-7}}{1.6\times 10^{-18}}n=EPeff​​=1.6×10−181.6×10−7​ n=1011 s−1n = 10^{11}\ \text{s}^{-1}n=1011 s−1

    Assuming one effective photon gives one photoelectron,

    Number of emitted photoelectrons per second=1011\boxed{\text{Number of emitted photoelectrons per second} = 10^{11}}Number of emitted photoelectrons per second=1011​

  6. Maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons

    By Einstein’s photoelectric equation,

    Kmax⁡=E−ϕK_{\max} = E - \phiKmax​=E−ϕ Kmax⁡=10−5=5 eVK_{\max} = 10 - 5 = 5\ \text{eV}Kmax​=10−5=5 eV

    So, Kmax⁡=5 eV\boxed{K_{\max} = 5\ \text{eV}}Kmax​=5 eV​

  7. Match with options

    The pair is: 1011 and 5 eV\boxed{10^{11}\ \text{and}\ 5\ \text{eV}}1011 and 5 eV​

    This corresponds to Option C.
