Question

A beam of green light  gives energy at the rate of 1 Js–1 to a surface where it is fully absorbed. How many photons reach the surface per second? If every 100 photons emit one electron, how much current will flow from the surface? 

Solution

Correct option is

As in previous example, the energy of a light-photon of wavelength  is  

                     

1 joule of energy reaches on the surface per second.    

 number of electrons reaching is  

        

100 photons emit one electron. Hence, the number of electrons emitted is 

        

1 electron has a change of . Hence the charge received from the surface is  

       

Rate of the flow of charge is the current. Hence electric current is 

                        .
