The beam of light has three wavelengths $4144 \,\mathring A$, $4972 \;\mathring A$ and $6216\; \mathring A$ with a total intensity of $3.6 \times$ $10^{-5}\,Wm ^2$ equally distributed amongst the three wavelengths. The beam falls normally on the area $1\,cm ^2$ of a clean metallic surface of work function $2.3\,eV$. Assume that there is no loss of light by reflection and that each energetically capable photon ejects one electron. Calculate the number of photoelectrons liberated in $2\,s$.
