In a photoelectric setup, a point source of light of power `3.2xx10^(-3)` W emits monoenergetic photons of energy 5.0 eV. The source is located at a distance of 0.8 m from the center of a stationary metallic sphere of work function 3.0 eV and of radius `8.0xx10^(-3)`m. The efficiency of photoelectron emission is 1 for every `10^(6)` incident photons. Assume that the sphere is isolated and initially neutral and that photoelectrons are instantaneously swept away after emission.
Q. It is observed that photoelectron emission stops at a certain time t after the light source is switched on. It is due to the retarding potential developed in the metallic sphere due to lift over positive charged. The stopping potential (V) can be represented as
