A monochromatic source of light operating at 15 kW emits 2.5 1022 photons/s. The region of an electromagnetic spectrum to which the emitted electromagnetic radiation belongs to . (Take h=6.6 10-34 J.s and c=3 108 m/s).

  1. Microwave
  2. Infrared
  3. Visible
  4. Ultraviolet

Answer

(4) Ultraviolet

Solution

Energy of one photon E= Pn= 15 1032.5 1022=6 10-19 J

= hcE= 6.6 10-34 3 1086 10-19=3.3 10-7 m =330 nm

Visible light: about 400 nm to 700 nm; 330 nm < 400 nm

the radiation is ultraviolet
