Can photoelectric efficiency be greater than One `(1)` ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether photoelectric efficiency can be greater than one, we need to analyze the concept of efficiency in the context of the photoelectric effect. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Efficiency**: - Efficiency (η) is defined as the ratio of useful output to the input. It is generally expressed as: \[ \eta = \frac{\text{Output}}{\text{Input}} ...
