A 600 W mercury lamp emits monochromatic radiation of wavelength 331.3 nm . How many photons are emitted from the lamp per second? (h=6.626 10⁻³⁴ ~J - s . ; velocity of light .=3 10^8 ~ms ⁻¹ )
Options
- A1 10¹⁹
- B1 10²⁰
- C1 10²¹
- D1 10²³
Correct answer
C. 1 10²¹
Step-by-step solution
Given, power =600 ~W =331.3 ~nm =331.3 10⁻⁹ ~m Power = energy time = n h v t = n h c t or n= power t h c = 600 331.3 10⁻⁹ 1 6.626 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 n=1 10²¹
