Find the number of photons emitted per second from a source of light which results in a photocurrent with drift velocity of $1.5 \ m/s$ in a conductor with cross-section area $0.25 \ m^2$ and volume density of electrons $10^{20} \ m^{-3}$. (Assume that $60\%$ of photons emitted result in electron emission).

The anode voltage of a photocell is kept fixed. The wavelength $\lambda$ of the light falling on the cathode is gradually changed. The plate current $I$ of the photocell varies as follows:

The ratio of the wavelength of a photon of energy $E$ to that of an electron of the same energy is ($m=$ mass of an electron,$c=$ speed of light,$h=$ Planck's constant).

In a photoelectric effect experiment,three different metal plates $p, q,$ and $r$ have work functions $\phi_p = 2.0 \ eV, \phi_q = 2.5 \ eV,$ and $\phi_r = 3.0 \ eV$. The incident light beams have wavelengths $\lambda_p = 550 \ nm, \lambda_q = 450 \ nm,$ and $\lambda_r = 350 \ nm$. The intensity of light is the same for each plate. The correct $I-V$ graph for the experiment is: $[hc = 1240 \ eV \ nm]$
