When a light source of power $P$ emitting monochromatic light of wavelength $\lambda$ is kept at a distance $r$ from a photosensitive surface of work function $\phi$ and surface area $A$,which of the following is the wrong option?

  • A
    The maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons is $\frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi$.
  • B
    The stopping potential needed to stop the fastest photoelectron is $\frac{1}{e}\left[ \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \phi \right]$.
  • C
    The number of photons striking the surface per unit time is $\frac{P \lambda A}{4 \pi hc r^2}$.
  • D
    All of the above.
