Answer:

Correct Answer: 32. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Give that, only $25 %$ of $200 W$ converter electrical energy into light of yellow colour

$(\frac{h c}{\lambda}) \times N=200 \times \frac{25}{100}$

Where $N$ is the No. of photons emitted per second, $h=$ plank’s constant, $c$, speed of light.

$ \begin{aligned} & N=\frac{200 \times 25}{100} \times \frac{\lambda}{h c} \\ & =\frac{200 \times 25 \times 0.6 \times 10^{-6}}{100 \times 6.2 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^{8}}=1.5 \times 10^{20} \end{aligned} $
