    Let\[{{n}_{R}}\]and\[{{n}_{B}}\]are the number of photons emitted by a red bulb and a blue bulb of equal power in a given time. Then,

    A)  \[{{n}_{R}}<{{n}_{B}}\]                                

    B)  \[{{n}_{R}}={{n}_{B}}\]

    C)  \[{{n}_{R}}>{{n}_{B}}\]                

    D)  Data is insufficient

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     Idea This question is based on the power emitted by the light sources. Energy of a photon is\[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }=hv\] If\[N\]be the number of photons emitted/s, then Power\[=Nhv\] Let\[{{n}_{R}}\]and\[{{n}_{B}}\]be the number of photons emitted by red bulb and blue bulb per second. As power of both bulbs is same, so \[{{n}_{R}}h{{v}_{R}}={{n}_{B}}h{{v}_{B}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{{{n}_{R}}}{{{n}_{B}}}=\frac{{{v}_{B}}}{{{v}_{R}}}\]as\[{{v}_{B}}>{{v}_{R}}\] So, \[{{n}_{R}}>{{n}_{B}}\] In time t, we have\[{{n}_{R}}\times t>{{n}_{B}}\times t\] or\[{{n}_{R}}>{{n}_{B}}\] TEST Edge Similar questions based on intensity (energy emitted per second by per unit area) of radiation could be asked.
