How many photons of light having a wavelength of 4000Å are necessary to provide 1J of energy ? (h= 6.63 xx 10^(-34)J.s, c=3 xx 10^(8)m//s)

Answer»

Solution :Energy of a photon = `hv= (hc)/(lamda)`
`=((6.63 XX 10^(-34)J.s) (3XX 10^(8) m//s))/((4000 xx 10^(-10)m))`
`=4.97 xx 10^(-19)J`
`therefore` number of PHOTONS required `= (1J)/(4.97 xx 10^(-19)J)`
`=2.01 xx 10^(18)`
