A source of monochromatic radiation of wavelength \(400~ nm\) provides \(1000 ~J\) of energy in \(10\) seconds. When this radiation falls on the surface of sodium, \(x\times 10^{20}\) electrons are ejected per second. Assume that wavelength \(400 ~nm\) is sufficient for ejection of electron from the surface of sodium metal. The value of \(x\) is: (Nearest integer)
