In a photoelectric experiment,a parallel beam of monochromatic light with power of $200 \ W$ is incident on a perfectly absorbing cathode of work function $6.25 \ eV$. The frequency of light is just above the threshold frequency so that the photoelectrons are emitted with negligible kinetic energy. Assume that the photoelectron emission efficiency is $100 \%$. $A$ potential difference of $500 \ V$ is applied between the cathode and the anode. All the emitted electrons are incident normally on the anode and are absorbed. The anode experiences a force $F = n \times 10^{-4} \ N$ due to the impact of the electrons. The value of $n$ is. . . . .
Mass of the electron $m_e = 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and $1.0 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J$.

$10^{-3} \, W$ of $5000 \, \mathring{A}$ light is directed on a photoelectric cell. If the current in the cell is $0.16 \, \mu A$,the percentage of incident photons which produce photoelectrons is .......$\%$

$A$ photocell is illuminated by a small bright source placed $d \; m$ away. When the same source of light is placed $\frac{d}{2} \; m$ away,the number of electrons emitted by the photocathode would

The figure shows the variation of photocurrent with anode potential for four different radiations. Let $I_a, I_b, I_c$ and $I_d$ be the intensities for the curves $a, b, c$ and $d$ respectively $[f_a, f_b, f_c$ and $f_d$ are frequencies respectively].

Assertion : Kinetic energy of photoelectrons emitted by a photosensitive surface depends upon the intensity of incident photon.
Reason : The ejection of electrons from a metallic surface is possible with a frequency of incident photon below the threshold frequency.
