Calculating electrons emitted question.

[ConfusedElect]

Hi all, I realize the subsequent question is likely to be quite simplistic; therefore I apologise in advance and I hope I am not offending fellow users. Here’s the question: “How many electrons are emitted from the cathode each second?”
How would I go about answering this question?

I have previous calculated the energy of a photon and the number of photons striking the cathode each second.

Thank you in advance for any help provided :)

Homework Statement

Here’s the question: “How many electrons are emitted from the cathode each second?”
How would I go about answering this question?
I have calculated the energy of a photo using E=hf and I also have calculated the number of photons striking the cathode each second.

Homework Equations

I am not sure of the equation for this problem as I am unable to locate it in my current Physics literature/I have also been unable to locate a relevant equation on the internet.

The Attempt at a Solution

Would I divide the number of photons striking the metal per second by the charge of an electron? Therefore: (number of photons striking cathode each second)/1.6*10-19...

The numebr I obtain doesn't seem very realistic ;\.

Thank you :).

Do you know the current between the cathode and anode?
