Light of intensity $10^{-5} \; W m^{-2}$ falls on a sodium photo-cell of surface area $2 \; cm^2$. Assuming that the top $5$ layers of sodium absorb the incident energy,estimate the 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?

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.
