PHXII11:DUAL NATURE OF RADIATION AND MATTER
357617
A photosensitive surface is receiving light of wavelength \(5000\mathop A\limits^o \) at the rate of \({10^{ - 7}}J{s^{ - 1}}\). The number of photons ejected per second is:
1 \(2.5 \times 10^{12}\)
2 \(2.5 \times 10^{11}\)
3 \(2.5 \times 10^{10}\)
4 \(2.5 \times 10^{9}\)

Explanation:
\(E=n h v=n\left(\dfrac{h c}{\lambda}\right) \Rightarrow \dfrac{E}{t}=\left(\dfrac{n}{t}\right)\left(\dfrac{h c}{\lambda}\right)\) \( \Rightarrow {10^{ - 7}} = \left( {\frac{n}{t}} \right)\frac{{6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}}{{5000 \times {{10}^{ - 10}}}}\) \( \Rightarrow \frac{n}{t} = \frac{{5000 \times {{10}^{ - 10}} \times {{10}^{ - 7}}}}{{6.626 \times {{10}^{ - 34}} \times 3 \times {{10}^8}}} = 2.5 \times {10^{11}}\;{s^{ - 1}}\)
