JEE Main & Advanced Physics Photo Electric Effect, X- Rays & Matter Waves Question Bank Photon and Photoelectric Effect

  • question_answer
    An AIR station is broadcasting the waves of wavelength 300 metres. If the radiating power of the transmitter is 10 kW, then the number of photons radiated per second is [MP PET 1989; RPMT 2000]

    A)            \[1.5\times {{10}^{29}}\]

    B)            \[1.5\times {{10}^{31}}\]

    C)            \[1.5\times {{10}^{33}}\]

    D)            \[1.5\times {{10}^{35}}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       \[P=\frac{W}{t}=\frac{nhc}{\lambda t}\,\Rightarrow \,\,\left( \frac{n}{t} \right)=\frac{P\lambda }{hc}\]\[=\frac{10\times {{10}^{3}}\times 300}{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}\]            \[=1.5\times {{10}^{31}}\]
