Question:

This problem is one of estimating the time lag (expected classically but not observed) in the photoelectric effect, let the intensity of the incident radiation be 0.01 W/m2.

(a) If the area of the atom is 0.01 nm2, find the energy per second falling on an atom.

(b) If the work function is 2 eV, how long would it take classically for this much energy to fall on one atom?
