    The minimum intensity of light perceived by the normal human eye is \[{{10}^{-9}}\text{Wb}{{\text{m}}^{-2}}.\]If the wavelength of light is 600 nm, then determine the number of photons entering the pupil in Is to see the object [area of \[\alpha \text{-}\]section of the pupil is \[{{10}^{-5}}{{\text{m}}^{2}}\]]

    A) \[4.2\times {{10}^{4}}\]                

    B) \[4.2\times {{10}^{8}}\]

    C) \[3.0\times {{10}^{5}}\]                

    D) \[2.6\times {{10}^{6}}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Given intensity, \[I={{10}^{-9}}Wb{{m}^{-2}}\] \[={{10}^{-9}}J{{s}^{-1}}{{m}^{-2}}\] If the number of photons are n, then \[\frac{nhv}{{{10}^{-5}}}={{10}^{-9}}\]\[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{nhc}{\lambda \times {{10}^{-5}}}={{10}^{-9}}\] \[\Rightarrow \]\[\frac{n\times 6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}{600\times {{10}^{-9}}\times {{10}^{-5}}}={{10}^{-9}}\] \[3.3n\times {{10}^{-14}}={{10}^{-9}}\] \[n=\frac{{{10}^{-9}}}{3.3\times {{10}^{-14}}}\] \[=0.303\times {{10}^{5}}\] \[=303\times {{10}^{4}}\]
