A monochromatic source of light operation at 200 W emits `4xx10^(20)` photons per second. Find the wavelength of the light `"(in" 10^(-7)m`).

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The energy of each photon `=(200(J)/(s))/((4xx10^(20))/(s))=5xx10^(-19)J`
Wavelength `=lamda=(hc)/(E)`
`=((6.63xx10^(-34)J-s)xx(3xx10^(8)(m)/(s)))/((5xx10^(-19)J))`
`=4.0xx10^(-7)`m
