A 200 W sodium street lamp emits yellow light of wavelength 0.6 µm. Assuming it to be 25% efficient in converting electrical energy to light, the number of photons of yellow light it emits per second is
Options
(a) 1.5 x 10²⁰
(b) 6 x 10¹⁸
(c) 62 x 10²⁰
(d) 3 x 10¹⁹
Correct Answer:
1.5 x 10²⁰
Explanation:
Give that, only 25% ov 200 W converter electrical energy into light of yellow colour
(hc / λ) x N = 200 x 25/100
Where N is the no. of photons emitted per second, h = plank’s constant, c, speed of light
N = 200 x 25 / 100 x λ / hc
= 200 x 25 x 0.6 x 10⁻⁶ / (100 x 6.2 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸)
= 1.5 x 10²⁰
