Light of intensity 10^ −5 W/m 2 falls on a sodium photo-cell of surface area 2 cm^ 2 . Assuming that the top 5 layers of sodium absorb the incident energy, estimate time required for photoelectric emission in the wave-picture of radiation. The work function for the metal is given to be about 2 eV. What is the implication of your answer?
