11.30 Light of intensity 10–5 W m–2 falls on a sodium photo-cell of surface area 2 cm2. Assuming that the top 5 layers of sodium absorb the incident energy, estimate time required for photoelectric emission in the wave-picture of radiation. The work function for the metal is given to be about 2 eV. What is the implication of your answer?

    11.30 Intensity of the incident light, I = 10 - 5  W m - 2

    Surface area of the sodium photocell, A = 2 c m 2  = 2 × 10 - 4 m 2

    The incident power of the light, P = I × A  = 10 - 5 × 10 - 4 m 2 W = 2 × 10 - 9  W

    Work function of the metal, 0 = 2 eV = 2 × 1.6 × 10 - 19  J = 3.2 × 10 - 19  J

    Number of layers of sodium that absorbs the incident energy, n = 5

    The effective atomic area of a sodium atom, A e  = 10 - 20 m 2

    Hence, the number of conduction electrons in n layers is given by:

    n’ = n × A A e  = 5 × 2 × 10 - 4 10 - 20  = 1 × 10 17

    Since the incident power is uniformly absorbed by all the electrons continuously, the amount of energy absorbed per second per electron is

    E = P n '  = 2 × 10 - 9 1 × 10 17  = 2 × 10 - 26  J/

z² × (13.6) (1 - ¼) = 3 × (13.6)

Now, k? = E? - Φ
k? = E? - Φ = z²E? - Φ
∴ k? /k? = (10.2 - Φ)/ (4 × 10.2 - Φ) = 1/5.25

hu = hu0 + K.E

Cases u = 2u0

h2u0 = hu0 + K.E1

K.E1 = hu0

1 2 m v 1 2 = h υ 0

v 1 2 = 2 h υ 0 m  

v 1 = 2 h υ 0 m - (1)      

Now, cases 2

h 5u0 = hu0 + k.E2
