Answer:

n = 1.3 x 10¹⁸ photons

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the amount of energy released in given time:

E = Pt

where,

E = Energy  = ?

P = Power = 4 mW = 0.004 W

t = time = 115 s

Therefore,

E = (0.004 W)(115 s)

E = 0.46 J

Now, this energy can be given in forms of photons as:

E = nhc/λ

where,

n = No. of photons = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λ = wavelength of light = 5650 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Therefore,

0.46 J = n(6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(5650 x 10⁻¹⁰ m)

n = (0.46 J)/(3.5 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>n = 1.3 x 10¹⁸ photons</u>

Answer:

1.308 x 10¹⁸ photons were emitted from the laser pointer.

Explanation:

Given;

wavelength of the photon, λ = 5650  Å = 5650 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

power emitted by the source, P = 4 mW = 4 x 10⁻³ W

time of photon emission, t = 115 s

The energy of a single photon is given by;

E = hf

f = c / λ

E = \frac{h c }{\lambda}

where;

c is speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

h is Planck's constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

E = \frac{(6.626 *10^{-34}) (3*10^8) }{5650*10^{-10}}\\\\ E = 3.518*10^{-19} \ J

Energy of the source (laser pointer) = P x t

                                                           = (4 x 10⁻³ W) (115 s )

                                                           = 0.46 J

If no energy is lost, then emitted energy by the source must be equal to total energy of then photons;

E_T = n E_{photon}\\\\n = \frac{E_T}{E_{photon}}\\\\n = \frac{0.46}{3.518*10^{-19}}\\\\n = 1.308*10^{18} \ photons

Therefore, 1.308 x 10¹⁸ photons were emitted from the laser pointer.
