Dual Nature Of Light Question 314

Question: The number of photons of wavelength 540 nm emitted per second by an electric bulb of power 100W is (taking h = $ 6\times {{10}^{-34}},J\text{-}sec $ ) [Kerala (Engg.) 2002; Pb. PET 2001]

Options:

A) 100

B) 1000

C) $ 3\times 10^{20} $

D) $ 3\times 10^{18} $

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

$ p=\frac{nhc}{\lambda t}\Rightarrow 100=\frac{n\times 6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{540\times {{10}^{-9}}\times 1} $ Þ $ n=3\times 10^{20} $
