If a source of power 4 kW produces `10^(20)` photons/second, the radiation belong to a part of the specturm called

A

`gamma-`rays

B

`X-`rays

C

ultraviolet rays

D

microwaves

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
No. of photons emitting per second from a source of power P is `n=(5xx10^(24))Plambda`
`implies` wavelength emitting `lambda=(n)/((5xx10^(24))P)["or "lambda=(nhc)/P]`
`implies lambda= 10^(20)/(5xx10^(24)xx4xx10^(3))=0.5xx10^(-9)m=50 Å`
and this wavelength comes in X ray region
