A 30 mw laser lamda 545 nm shines on a cesium photocathode


Question: A 3.0 mW laser (lamda = 545 nm) shines on a cesium photocathode (phi = 1.95 eV). Assume an efficiency of 10-5 for producing photoelectrons (that is, 1 photoelectron is produced for every 105 incident photons).

Question 1: Determine the photoelectric current (nA).
