In a photoelectric effect set up, a point source of light of power 3.2 xx10^(-3) W emits monoenergetic photons of energy 5eV.The source is located at a distance of a stationary metallic sphere of work function 3eV and radius 8xx10^(-3)m .The efficiency of photoelectron emission is one for every 10^(6) incident photons.Assume that the sphere is isolated and initially neutral and the photoelectrons are initially swept away after emission. Calculate the number of photoelectrons emitted per second.
