Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

  1. Monochromatic light of wavelength 667 nm is produced by a helium neon laser. The power emitted is 9 mW. The number of photons arriving per sec on the average at a target irradiated by this beam is:
    1. 3 × 1016
    2. 9 × 1015
    3. 3 × 1019
    4. 9 × 1017
Correct Option: A

λ = 667 × 10-9 m,
P = 9 × 10-3 W

P =
Nhc
λ

N= No. of photons emitted/sec.
N =
9 × 10-3 × 667 × 10-9
6.6 × 10-34 × 3 × 108

=
9 × 6.67 × 10-10
≃ 3 × 1016/sec
3 × 6.6 × 10-26
