Q22.If a source of power 4 kW produces 1020 photons/second, the radiation belong to a part of the spectrum called (1) X-rays (2) ultraviolet rays (3) microwaves (4) γ -rays

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the energy of individual photons emitted by a source given its power and the rate of photon emission, and then identifying the region of the electromagnetic spectrum based on this energy.

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?
