Number of photons of wavelength 600 nm emitted per second by an electric bulb of power 60 W is -

A

60

B

600

C

2 × 1020

D

None of these

Answer

2 × 1020

Explanation

Solution

P =

n = 60×600×1096.6×1034×3×108\frac { 60 \times 600 \times 10 ^ { - 9 } } { 6.6 \times 10 ^ { - 34 } \times 3 \times 10 ^ { 8 } }

n = 18.18 × 1019

or n = 1.8 × 1020
