Work function of metal is 2 eV. Light of intensity $ 10^{-5} Wm ^{-2} $ is incident $ 2 cm ^ 2 $on area of it. If $ 10^{17} $ electrons of these metals absorb the light, in how much time does the photo electric effectc start ? Consider the waveform of incident light.
To find the time required for the photoelectric effect to start, we need to calculate the energy absorbed by the electrons and then compare it with the work function of the metal. The intensity of incident light is given as $10^{-5} ext{ Wm}^{-2}$, and the area of the metal is $2 ext{ cm}^2$ or $2 imes 10^{-4} ext{ m}^2$.
