Three monochromatic sources having wavelengths $12.42 nm, 6.21 nm$ and $24.84 nm$ are placed close to each other in front of a converging lens such that equal powers from the three equal to $1 m W$ each fall on a converging lens and then on a small spherical conductor of radius $r = 1 mm$ and work function $62.1 eV$ (Assume $50 %$ efficiency of emission and no change in effective value of work function due to photoelectric emission and potential rise) (Use $h c = 1242 eV - nm$ ) (All electrons emitted by the sphere are immediately removed by some non-electrical mechanism). At $t = 8 \sec$ switch $S$ is closed so that the sphere gets connected to the earth via a resistor of value $6.75 Ω$ . Find the current flowing just after the switch is closed.
