Hi, how could i calculate the current I would get from the photoelectric effect, so that the end result would be in amps?
If I have a certain lightsource or source of powerful enough em radiation to conduct the photoelectric effect , how could I calculate the intensity needed for given current , also is photocurrent equivalent to ordinary electric current written in amps ?
Does the same power rule applies for photcurrent as for conventional current, for example 200 volts and 1 amp transmitted would equal 200 watts of power , versus 10 volts and 20 amps to achieve the same total power delivered.
So in photocurrent lower wavelength photons would require higher intensity while higher wavelength radiation source would require less intensity to get the same current , correct?
