A 5 Watt Source Emits Monochromatic Light Of Wavelength 5000 Physics Question

A 5 watt source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 5000Å. When placed 0.5 m away, it liberates photoelectrons from a photosensitive metallic surface. When the source is moved to a distance of 1.. m, the number of photoelectrons liberated will be reduced by a factor of

Options

(a) 8
(b) 16
(c) 2
(d) 4
