    The photosensitive surface is receiving light of wavelength 5000\[\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] at the rate of \[{{10}^{-8}}J\text{/}s.\] The number of photons received per second is

    A)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{10}}\]                            

    B)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{11}}\]

    C)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{12}}\]                            

    D)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{9}}\]

    E)  \[2.5\times {{10}^{13}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                    Energy of a photon \[E=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\] Given \[\lambda =5000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,=5\times {{10}^{-7}}m\] \[\therefore \]  \[E=\frac{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{5\times {{10}^{-7}}}\]     \[=3.96\times {{10}^{-19}}J\] Energy received per second\[={{10}^{-8}}J\text{/}s\] \[\therefore \]Number of photons received per second \[=\frac{\text{Energy received per second}}{\text{Energy of one photon}}\] \[=\frac{{{10}^{-8}}}{3.96\times {{10}^{-19}}}=2.5\times {{10}^{10}}\]
