A light source of wavelength 520 nm emits `1.04 xx 10^(15)` photons per second while the second source of 460 nm produces `1.38 xx 10^(15)` photons per second. Then the ratio of power of second source to that of first source is………………

A

`1.00`

B

1.02

C

1.5

D

0.98

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
Power, `P = (E)/(t) = (n h upsilon)/(t) = (n)/(t) xx (hc)/(lambda)`
`P_(1) = (1.04 xx 10^(15) xx 1240)/(520) = 2.48 xx 10^(15)`
`P_(2) = (1.38 xx 10^(15) xx 1240)/(460) = 3.72 xx 10^(15)`
`(P_(2))/(P_(1)) = (3.72 xx 10^(15))/(2.48 xx 10^(15)) = 1.5`
