Q18.Two sources of light emit with a power of 200 W. The ratio of number of photons of visible light emitted by each source having wavelengths 300 nm and 500 nm respectively, will be : (1) 1 : 5 (2) 1 : 3 (3) 5 : 3 (4) 3 : 5

What This Question Tests

This question requires calculating the energy of individual photons for given wavelengths and then using the power emitted by the source to find the number of photons emitted per unit time.

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?
