A $100 \;W$ sodium lamp radiates energy uniformly in all directions. The lamp is located at the centre of a large sphere that absorbs all the sodium light which is incident on it. The wavelength of the sodium light is $589\; nm$.

$(a)$ What is the energy per photon associated with the sodium light?

$(b)$ At what rate are the photons delivered to the sphere?

$(a)$ Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heated emitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintained at a potential difference of $500\;V$ with respect to the emitter. Ignore the small inttial speeds of the electrons. The specific charge of the electron, $i.e.$, the $e / m$ is glven to be $1.76 \times 10^{11}\; C\; kg ^{-1}$

$(b)$ Use the same formula you employ in $(a)$ to obtain electron speed for an collector potential of $10 \;MV$. Do you see what is wrong? In what way is the formula to be modified?

According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the graph between the kinetic energy of photoelectrons ejected and the frequency of incident radiation is
