A laser produces a beam of light of frequency \(5 \times 10^{14} \mathrm{~Hz}\) with an output power of 33 mW. The average number of photons emitted by the laser per second is \(\left(\right.\) Planck's constant \(\left.=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}\right)\)

  1. A \(40 \times 10^{16}\)
  2. B \(10 \times 10^{16}\)
  3. C \(30 \times 10^{16}\)
  4. D \(20 \times 10^{16}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(10 \times 10^{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(E = h\nu\) \(E = (6.6 \times 10^{-34}) \times (5 \times 10^{14}) = 33 \times 10^{-20} \mathrm{~J}\) \(N = P/E\) \(N = (33 \times 10^{-3}) / (33 \times 10^{-20}) = 1 \times 10^{17} = 10 \times 10^{16}\)
