Problem

Two identical photocells are illuminated by the same monochromatic beam (ν>ν0\nu > \nu_0) of intensity II. In photocell X, 30 % of the light is reflected by the metal surface, but the remaining photons eject electrons with quantum efficiency 60 %. In photocell Y, no light is reflected, but the quantum efficiency is only 40 %. What is the ratio Isat(X)I_{\text{sat}}(X) : Isat(Y)I_{\text{sat}}(Y) of their saturation currents? a) 3:23:2 b) 21:2021:20 c) 7:47:4 d) 20:2120:21
