A beam of electromagnetic radiation of intensity 6.4 × 10–5 W/cm2 is comprised of wavelength, = 310 nm. It falls normally on a metal (work function = 2eV) of surface area of 1 cm2. If one in 103 photons ejects an elctron, total number of electrons ejected in 1 s is 10x. (hc = 1240 eVnm, 1eV = 1.6 × 10–19 J), then x is .

Correct answer: 11
- Given data
- Intensity of radiation:
- Area of metal surface:
- Wavelength:
- Work function:
- One in photons ejects one electron.
We need total number of electrons emitted in .
- Power falling on the surface
Since area is ,
So, energy incident in is
- Energy of one photon
Using Given ,
Convert into joules:
- Check whether photoemission occurs
Photon energy = and work function = .
Since photoelectrons are emitted.
- Number of photons incident per second
So, incident photons per second =
- Number of electrons emitted per second
Given only one in photons ejects an electron,
Thus, total electrons ejected in is
Comparing with ,
- Final answer
The derived answer matches the stored correct answer.
