    If 5% of the energy supplied to a bulb is radiated as visible light, how many quanta are emitted per second by a 100 W lamp? Suppose, visible light is of wavelength \[5.6\times {{10}^{-5}}cm.\]

    A) \[1.4\times {{10}^{19}}\]                             

    B) \[3.2\times {{10}^{17}}\]

    C) \[3.4\times {{10}^{19}}\]                             

    D) \[4.9\times {{10}^{-15}}\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    The energy radiation as visible light \[=\frac{5}{100}\times 100=5\,\text{J/s}\] Let a be the number of photons emitted per second. Then,\[nhv=n\frac{hc}{\lambda }=5\] \[\therefore \]\[n=\frac{5\lambda }{hc}\] \[=\frac{5\times 5.6\times {{10}^{-7}}}{(6.2\times {{10}^{-34}})(3\times {{10}^{8}})}=1.4\times {{10}^{19}}\]
