In a photoelectric effect set-up, a point source light of power emits monoenergetic photons of energy 5.0 eV. The source is located at a distance of 0.8 m from the centre of a stationary metallic sphere of work function 3.0 eV and of radius . The efficiency of photoelectron emission is one for every incident photons. Assume that the sphere is located and initially neutral and that photo electrons are instantly swept away after emission. Then
