    \[3.0\text{ }mW\]of 400 nm light is incident on a photoelectric cell, if 0.1% of the photons are contributing in ejection of electrons, then the current in the cell is

    A)  \[0.48\text{ }\mu A\]

    B)  resistance value not given

    C)  zero

    D) \[0.96\text{ }\mu A\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

                     Let n be the number of photons per sec absorbed by cell, then \[n\frac{hc}{\lambda }=3\times {{10}^{-3}}\] \[n=6.04\times {{10}^{15}}\] The electron which have been ejected per sec are 0.1% of\[n=6.04\times {{10}^{13}}\]. So, rate of flow of charge\[I=\frac{dq}{dt}=0.1%\]of\[ne=0.96\text{ }\mu A\]
