A small potassium foil is placed (perpendicular to the direction of incidence of light) a distance `r( =0.5 m)` from a point light source whose output power `P_(0)` is `1.0W`. Assuming wave nature of light how long would it take for the foil to soak up enough energy `(=1.8eV)` from the beam to eject an electron? Assume that the ejected photoelectron collected its energy from a circular area of the foil whose radius eqals the radius of a potassium atom `(1.3xx10^(-10)m)`

A potassium foil is a distance r=3.5m from an isotropic light source that emits energy at the rate P=1.5W . The work function F of potassium is 2.2 eV. Suppose that the energy transported by the incident light were transferred to the target foil continuously and smoothly (that is, if classical physics prevailed instead of quantum physics). How long would it take for the foil to absorb enough energy to eject and electron? Assume that the foil totally absorbs all the energy reaching it can that the to - be-ejected electron collects energy from a circular patch of the foil whose radius is 5.0xx10^(-11)m , about that of a typical atom.
