A small plate of a metal is placed at a distance of 2m from a monochromatic light source of wavelenght `4.8xx10^(-7)m` and power 1.0 Watt. The light falls normally on the plate. Find the number of photons striking the metal plate per square metre per second.

Verified by Experts

Photon energy
(hc)/(lambda)=((6.6xx10^(-34))xx(3xx10^(8)))/(4.8xx10^(-7))`
=`4.125xx10^(-19)joule`
The rate of emission of photon from source
=`.(1.Ojoule//sec.)/(4.125 xx 10^(-19)joule) =2.424xx10^(18)per sec`
Number of photons striking per sq. metre per second on the plate
`(2.425 xx 10^(18))/(4xx(3.14)xx(2)^(2)) = 4.82 xx 10^(16)`
The maximum kinetic energy of the photo electrons emitted from the plate having we function W = 1.17 eV is given by
`E_(k)=(hc)/(lambda)-W=(14.125 xx 10^(-19))-(1.17xx1.6xx10^(-19) joule) = 2.253 xx 10^(-19) joule`
The maximum velocity of photoelectrons
  `v=sqrt(((2E_(k))/(m)))=sqrt(((2xx2.253xx10^(-16))/(9.1xx10^(-31))))=7.036xx10^(5)m//sec`.
