In the photoelectric experiment, if we use a monochromatic light, the I-V curve is as shown. If work function of the metal is 2eV, estimate the power of light used. (Assume efficiency of photo emission is 10-3%, i.e. number of photoelectrons emitted are 10-3% of number of photons incident on metal.)

The work function of a certain metal is hCλ0 when a monochromatic light of wavelength, λ<λ0 is incident such that the plate gains a total power P. If the efficiency of photoelectric emission is η% and all the emitted photoelectrons are captured by a hollow conducting sphere of radius R already charged to potential V, then, neglecting any interaction between plate and the sphere, expression of potential of the sphere at time t is,
