$A$ point source of light is used in an experiment on the photoelectric effect. Which of the following curves best represents the variation of photocurrent $(i)$ with distance $(d)$ of the source from the emitter?

$A$ monochromatic beam of light of wavelength $400\,nm$ is incident normally upon a photosensitive surface ($25\%$ reflects and the rest is absorbed). This produces a radiation pressure of $5 \times 10^{-7}\,N/m^2$ on the surface. If $0.1\%$ of the incident photons produce photoelectrons,the corresponding saturation current will be $\dots \mu A$. (Consider the area of the photosensitive surface $= 5\,cm^2$)
