A parallel beam of light of wavelength \(900\,nm\) and intensity \(100\,Wm ^{-2}\) is incident on a surface perpendicular to the beam. Tire number of photons crossing \(1\,cm ^{2}\) area perpendicular to the beam in one second is :

Pick an option to check your answer.
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(4.5 \times 10^{16}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Wavelength of incident beam \(\lambda=900 \times 10^{-9}\,m\)

Intensity of incident beam \(= I =100\,W / m ^{2}\)

No. of photons crossing per unit sec

\(= n =\frac{ E _{\text {net }}}{ E _{\text {sim gle photon }}}=\frac{ IA \lambda}{ hc }\)

\(=\frac{(100)\left(1 \times 10^{-4}\right)\left(900 \times 10^{-9}\right)}{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}=4.5 \times 10^{16}\)
