Modern Physics 2 Question 28
27. A silver sphere of radius and work function is suspended from an insulating thread in free-space. It is under continuous illumination of wavelength light. As photoelectrons are emitted, the sphere gets charged and acquires a potential. The maximum number of photoelectrons emitted from the sphere is (where ). The value of is
