Dual Nature Of Matter Question 4

Question 4 - 2024 (29 Jan Shift 2)

Two sources of light emit with a power of $200 \mathrm{~W}$. The ratio of number of photons of visible light emitted by each source having wavelengths $300 \mathrm{~nm}$ and $500 \mathrm{~nm}$ respectively, will be :

(1) $1: 5$

(2) $1: 3$

(3) $5: 3$

(4) $3: 5$

Show Answer

Answer: (4)

Solution:

$\mathrm{n}{1} \times \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda{1}}=200$

$\mathrm{n}{2} \times \frac{\mathrm{hc}}{\lambda{2}}=200$

$\frac{\mathrm{n}{1}}{\mathrm{n}{2}}=\frac{\lambda_{1}}{\lambda_{2}}=\frac{300}{500}$

$\frac{\mathrm{n}{1}}{\mathrm{n}{2}}=\frac{3}{5}$
