An ultraviolet lamp emits light of wavelength 400 nm at the rate of 400 W. An infrared lamp emits light of wavelength 700 nm, also at the rate of 400 W. (a) Which lamp emits photons at the greater rate and (b) what is that greater rate?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The infrared lamp emits photons at greater rate.

(b) The rate of emitted protons is1.41021photons/s.

Step by step solution

01

Describe the expression of emission rate and energy of the photon

The expression of emission rate is given by,

R=PEp

Here, P is power.

The energyof a photon of wavelength is given by,

Ep=hc

Here, h is Planck鈥檚 constant and c is the speed of light.

02

Determine the lamp that emit photons at the greater rate

(a)

The wavelength of the photon and energy of the photon has an indirect relationship, so; the wavelength of the photon will be larger when the energy is smaller. Here, the wavelength of infrared light is more than ultraviolet light.

Therefore, the energy of the infrared photon is less than the ultraviolet photon. But the power emitted by both lamps is the same.

Numberofphotonsemittedpersecond=EnergyemittedpersecondEnergyofeachphoton

Here, the energy emitted per second is constant and equal to 400 W.

Numberofphotonsemittedpersecond1Energyofeachphoton

From the above relation, it can be observed that if the energy of the infrared photon is less than the ultraviolet photon, then the number of photons emitted by the infrared light will be more.

Therefore, the infrared lamp emits photons at a greater rate.

03

Determine the rate of emission of the photon  

The expression to calculate the emission rate is given by,

R=Phc鈥︹ (1)

Substitute the below values in eq 1.

P=400w=700nmh=6.62610-34Jsc=3108m/s

R=400W700nm6.62610-34Js3108m/s=400W700nm1m109nm6.62610-34Js3108m/s=1.41021photons/s.

Therefore, the rate of emitted protons is1.41021photons/s.
