A photo-cell is being operated in saturation mode. Electromagnetic radiations of wavelengthλ mfall upon the photo-cell. The corresponding spectral sensitivity of photocell isJ A W-1. The number of photo-electrons produced by each incident photon, is

Options:

Answer:
B
Solution:

Power of sourceP=n⋅hcλ...(i)
n →no. of incident photons per second
Photo currentI = n'e...(ii)
n' →no. of electrons reaching anode per second
⇒  n'n=Ie×hcPλ=hce⋅λIP=hcJeλ
