There are two sources of light, each emitting with a power of `100W`. One emits X-rays of wavelength `1nm` and the other visible light at `500nm`. Find the ratio of number of photons of X-rays to the photons of visible light of the given wavelength?

To solve the problem of finding the ratio of the number of photons emitted by two light sources, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between power, number of photons, and wavelength The power emitted by a light source can be expressed in terms of the number of photons emitted per second. The formula relating power (P), number of photons (n), Planck's constant (h), and the wavelength (λ) is given by: \[ P = n \cdot \frac{hc}{\lambda} \] where: - \( P \) is the power in watts (W), - \( n \) is the number of photons emitted per second, ...
