A photodiode sensor is used to measure the output of a 300 W lamp kept 10 m away The sensor has an opening of 2 cm in diameter. How many photons enter the sensor if the wavelength of the light is 660 nm and the exposure time is 100 m s. (Assume that all the energy of the lamp is given off as light and h=6.6×10-34 J s )

  1. A 3.6×1013
  2. B 2.8×1013
  3. C 2.5×1013
  4. D 1.8×1013
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 2.5×1013

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Energy of photon is E=hcλ=6.6×10-34×3×108660×10-9=3×10-9 The number of photons emitted is given by, n=Eenergy of lampPhoton energy×Area of sensorExposure area of lamp…
