(a) Mention three facts about photoelectric effect

(b) An electric magnetic radiation source of power 6 x 10\(^{-3}\) W emits 1 x 10\(^{16}\) photons per second. The most energetic photo electron ejected from a metal surface is stopped by a potential difference of 2.2V. Calculate the work function of the metal. [ mass of (photon) electrons 9.1 x 10\(^{-31}\) kg, e = 1.6 x 10\(^{-19}\) C]

(c) State two factors on which the activity of a radioactive sample depends

(d) Cobalt-60 source has an activity of 2.0 x 10\(^6\) Bq and a half-life of 1.8 x 10\(^8\)s. Calculate the number of radioisotope nuclei in the source.
