    Light of wavelength \[5000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] falling on a sensitive surface. If the surface has received \[{{10}^{-7}}J\] of energy, then the number of photons falling on the surface will be:

    A)  \[5\times {{10}^{11}}\]                                

    B)  \[2.5\,\times {{10}^{11}}\]              

    C)             \[3\times {{10}^{11}}\]                

    D)         none of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    From Einsteins photoelectric effect concept the energy of these photons, for light of frequency v is \[E=hv\] where h is Plancks constant. Also frequency \[=\frac{\text{velocity}}{\text{wavelength}}=\frac{c}{\lambda }\] \[\therefore \]                  \[=\frac{hc}{\lambda }\] Energy of n photons is \[E=\frac{nhc}{\lambda }\] Given, \[E={{10}^{-7}}\,J,\lambda =5000\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,\] \[=5000\times {{10}^{-10}}m\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[n=\frac{E\lambda }{hc}\]                                 \[=\frac{{{10}^{-7}}\times 5000\times {{10}^{-10}}}{6.6\times {{10}^{-34}}\times 3\times {{10}^{8}}}\]                                 \[\simeq 2.5\times {{10}^{11}}\]
