The energy of a single photon can be calculated as
E=λhc The spectral sensitivity can be defined in terms of either current and power or charge and energy as:
sλ=PI=P⋅tI⋅t=Eq=ENe Hence, the number of photoelectrons produced by each incident photon is
N=esλE=eλsλhc Substituting the numerical values, we obtain:
N=6.6⋅103⋅10−10⋅1.6⋅10−194.8⋅10−3⋅6.6⋅10−34⋅3⋅108≈9⋅10−3=0.009 Answer: 0.009
