  • $1.72 \times 10^{31}$
  • $1.327 \times 10^{25}$
  • $1.327 \times 10^{37}$
  • $1.327 \times 10^{45}$

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

No. of photons emitted per sec,
$ n = \frac {Power}{Energy\, of\, photon}$
$ = \frac{P}{h\upsilon} = \frac{10000}{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 880 \times 10^{3}}$
$ = 1.72 \times 10^{31} $

Concepts Used:

Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

The dual nature of matter and the dual nature of radiation were throughgoing concepts of physics. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists untangled one of the best-kept secrets of nature – the wave-particle duplexity or the dual nature of matter and radiation.

Electronic Emission

The least energy that is needed to emit an electron from the surface of a metal can be supplied to the loose electrons.

Photoelectric Effect

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that involves electrons getting away from the surface of materials.

Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle

Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle states that both the momentum and position of a particle cannot be determined simultaneously.
