Consider a thin target `(10^-2m square, 10^-3 m thickness)`of sodium, which produces a photocurrent of `100muA` when a light of intensity `100W/m^2(lambda=660nm)` falls on it. Find the probability that a photoelectron is produced when a photon strikes a sodium atom.`[Take density of Na=0.97 kg/m^3]`.
