(C) The energy of a single incident photon is given by $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{1240\,eV\cdot nm}{400\,nm} = 3.1\,eV$.Converting this energy to Joules: $E = 3.1 	imes 1.6 	imes 10^{-19}\,J = 4.96 	imes 10^{-19}\,J$.The number of photons incident per second is $n = \frac{P}{E} = \frac{1.55 	imes 10^{-3}\,W}{4.96 	imes 10^{-19}\,J} = 3.125 	imes 10^{15}\,	ext{photons/s}$.Since only $10\%$ of photons produce photoelectrons,the number of photoelectrons emitted per second is $N_e = 0.10 	imes n = 0.10 	imes 3.125 	imes 10^{15} = 3.125 	imes 10^{14}\,	ext{electrons/s}$.The photoelectric current is $I = N_e 	imes e = 3.125 	imes 10^{14} 	imes 1.6 	imes 10^{-19}\,A = 5.0 	imes 10^{-5}\,A$.Converting to $\mu A$: $I = 50\,\mu A$.

For the photoelectric effect,the maximum kinetic energy $(E_{k})$ of the photoelectrons is plotted against the frequency $(\nu)$ of the incident photons as shown in the figure. The slope of the graph gives:

The threshold frequency for a metallic surface corresponds to an energy of $6.2 \ eV$ and the stopping potential for a radiation incident on this surface is $5 \ V$. The incident radiation lies in:

The maximum kinetic energies of photoelectrons emitted are $K_1$ and $K_2$ when lights of wavelengths $\lambda_1$ and $\lambda_2$ are incident on a metallic surface. If $\lambda_1 = 3 \lambda_2$,then:

Photons of frequencies equal to the frequencies of $H_\beta$ and $H_{\infty}$ lines of hydrogen are incident on a photosensitive plate,whose threshold frequency is equal to the frequency of the $H_\alpha$ line of hydrogen. The ratio of the maximum kinetic energies of the emitted electrons is
