#(a):
Given wavelength of absorbed radiation, = 250.0 nm * (10-9 m / 1 nm) = 2.50*10-7 m
=> Frequency of the absorbed light, = C / = 3*108 m.s-1 / 2.50*10-7 m = 1.2*1015 Hz or s-1
Suppose there are "n" photons in the radiation of 3.50*10-3 J.
=> energy of a single absorbed photon, E = h* = 6.626*10-34 J.s * 1.2*1015 s-1 = 7.95*10-19 J
"n" number of photons will also produce "n" number of electrons
=> maximum number of electrons formed by 3.50*10-3 J energy = Total energy / energy of single photon
= 3.50*10-3 J / 7.95*10-19 J = 4.40*1015 electrons (Answer)
#(b): energy of a single absorbed photon, E = 7.95*10-19 J
work function, = 3.845*10-19 J
=> Amount of absorbed energy that converts to kinetic energy of free electron, Ee = E - = 7.95*10-19 J - 3.845*10-19 J
= 4.105*10-19 J
Also Ee = (1/2)*me * V2
where me = mass of electron = 9.11*10-31 Kg
=> V = square root(2Ee / me)
=> V = square root(2*4.105*10-19 J / 9.11*10-31 Kg )
=> V = 9.49*105 m/s (Answer)
