Q30.A 10 kW transmitter emits radio waves of wavelength 500 m. The number of photons emitted per second by the transmitter is of the order of (1) 1037 (2) 1031 (3) 1025 (4) 1043 JEE Main 2012 (12 May Online) JEE Main Previous Year Paper

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the energy of a single photon of a given wavelength and then using the power of the transmitter to determine the total number of photons emitted per second.

Concepts Tested

Energy of a photonPower of electromagnetic radiationNumber of photons per second

Formulas Used

E = hc/λ

P = N E / t

11.4 Monochromatic light of wavelength 632.8 nm is produced by a helium-neon laser. The power emitted is 9.42 mW. (a) Find the energy and momentum of each photon in the light beam, (b) How many photons per second, on the average, arrive at a target irradiated by this beam? (Assume the beam to have uniform cross-section which is less than the target area), and (c) How fast does a hydrogen atom have to travel in order to have the same momentum as that of the photon?
