Consider a 20 W bulb emitting light of wavelength 5000 Å and shining on a metal surface kept at a distance 2 m. Assume that the metal surface has work function of 2 eV and that each atom on the metal surface can be treated as a circular disk of radius 1.5 Å.
(i) Estimate number of photons emitted by the bulb per second. [Assume no other losses]
(ii) Will there be photoelectric emission?

(iii) How much time would be required by the atomic disk to receive energy equal to work function (2 eV)?
(iv) How many photons would atomic disk receive within time duration calculated in (iii) above?
(v) Can you explain how photoelectric effect was observed instantaneously?

Not really. The electric dipole moment vector directs or points from the negative charge to the positive charge. But the electric field lines that a dipole creates will point away from the positive and move to the negative charge.

Yes, the cube, which is a closed surface containing only one electric dipole will make electric flux zero. This follows Gauss's Law when the total charge inside it is zero. The field lines entering the surface will exit, and that would result in zero net flux. 

The magnitude of each charge and the distance that separates them. 

Gauss Law is only concerned with the total enclosed charge that finally tells us the total flux. The charges outside may change field patterns. They not affect the total flux. It's actually incorrect to assume the field due to the external charges should also affect the flux through the Gaussian sur

Gauss Law does not directly give the electric field in all cases. It can only be used in calculations for symmetrical surfaces: spherical, cylindrical, or planar.
