A mercury arc lamp provides 0.1W of ultra-violet radiation at a wavelength of λ=2537∘A only. The photo tube (cathode of photo electric device) consists of potassium and has an effective area of 4 cm2. The cathode is located at a distance of 1 m from the radiation source. The work function for potassium is ϕ0=2.2 eV.To what saturation current does the flux of photons at the cathode corresponds, if the photo conversion efficiency is 5%?
