The eyes of certain member of the reptile family pass a single visual signal to the brain when the visual receptors are struck by photons of wavelength `850nm`. If a total energy of `3.15xx10^(14)J` is required to trip the signal. What is the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`1.35xx10^(5)`
`E=(hL)/(lambda) " "n=(3.15xx10^(-14)xx850xx10^(-9))/(6.62xx10^(-34)xx3xx10^(8))`
`n=134.8xx10^(3)" "n=1.35xx10^(5)`

When a particle is restricted to move aong x axis between x =0 and x = a , where a is of nanometer dimension. Its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends x = 0 and x = a . The wavelength of this standing wave is realated to the linear momentum p of the particle according to the de Breogile relation.
