In the photoelectric effect,if a radiation of weak intensity is used instead of a radiation of strong intensity,but of the same suitable frequency,then:

$A$ photocell is illuminated by a small bright light source placed at a distance of $1 \ m$. When the same light source is placed at a distance of $\frac{1}{2} \ m$,the number of electrons emitted by the photocathode will be:

The work functions of Caesium $(Cs)$, Potassium $(K)$, and Sodium $(Na)$ are $2.14\,eV$, $2.30\,eV$, and $2.75\,eV$ respectively. If incident electromagnetic radiation has an incident energy of $2.20\,eV$, which of these photosensitive surfaces may emit photoelectrons?

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 $1.0 \ eV = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ J$.
