JEE Mains · Physics · STD 12 - 8. Electromagnetic waves

If a source of electromagnetic radiation having power \(15 kW\) produces \(10^{16}\) photons per second, the radiation belongs to a part of spectrum is.(Take Planck constant \(h =6 \times 10^{-34}\,Js\) )

  1. A Micro waves
  2. B Ultraviolet rays
  3. C Gamma rays
  4. D Radio waves
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) Gamma rays

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy of one photon \(=\frac{\text { Power }}{\text { Photon frequency }}\) \(E=h \nu=\frac{15 \times 10^3}{10^{16}}\) \(v=\frac{15 \times 10^{-13}}{6 \times 10^{-34}}=2.5 \times 10^{21}\)
