A 60 ~W source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 662.5 ~nm . The number of photons emitted per second is
Options
- A5 10¹⁷
- B2 10²⁰
- C5 10²⁶
- D2 10²⁹
Correct answer
B. 2 10²⁰
Step-by-step solution
Given, P=60 ~W =662.5 ~nm =6.625 10⁻⁷ ~m Energy of 1 photon =h v=h c = 6.625 10⁻³⁴ 3 10^8 6.625 10⁻⁷ =3 10⁻¹⁹ ~J Number of photons emitted per second aligned & = Power of source Energy of one photon & = 60 3 10⁻¹⁹ & =20 10¹⁹ & =2 10²⁰ aligned
