Problem

A source emits monochromatic light of frequency 5.5×10145.5 \times 10^{14} Hz at a rate of 0.1 W. Of the photons given out, 0.15% fall on the cathode of a photocell which gives a current of 6μA6 \mu\text{A} in an external circuit. a. Find the energy of a photon. b. Find the number of photons leaving the source per second. c. Find the percentage of the photons falling on the cathode which produce photoelectrons.
