Consider figure for photoemission.

How would you reconcile with momentum-conservation ? Note light (photons) have momentum in a different direction than the emitted electrons. 

A source $S_1$ is producing, $10^{15}$ photons per second of wavelength $5000 \;\mathring A.$ Another source $S_2$ is producing $1.02 \times 10^{15}$ photons per second of wavelength $5100\;\mathring A$. Then, $($ power of $S_2)/$  $($ power of $S_1)$ is equal to
