AIPMT PRELIMS 2009 Physics Photon Energy MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 12
Monochromatic light of wavelength 667 nₘ is produced by a helium neon laser. The power emitted is 9 mW. The number of photons arriving per sec. On the average at a target irradiated by this beam is:
A
3 × 10¹⁶
B
9 × 10¹⁵
C
3 × 10¹⁹
D
9 × 10¹⁷
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
The number of photons is calculated using the formula Pλ/hc, where P is the power, λ is the wavelength, h is Planck's constant, and c is the speed of light. Substituting the given values gives 3 × 10¹⁶ photons per second.
