Answer:
Minimum number of photons required is 1.35 x 10⁵
Explanation:
Given:
Wavelength of the light, λ = 850 nm = 850 x 10⁻⁹ m
Energy of one photon is given by the relation :
....(1)
Here h is Planck's constant and c is speed of light.
Let N be the minimum number of photons needed for triggering receptor.
Minimum energy required for triggering receptor, E₁ = 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J
According to the problem, energy of N number of photons is equal to the energy required for triggering, that is,
E₁ = N x E
Put equation (1) in the above equation.

Substitute 3.15 x 10⁻¹⁴ J for E₁, 850 x 10⁻⁹ m for λ, 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ J s for h and 3 x 10⁸ m/s for c in the above equation.

N = 1.35 x 10⁵

Answer:
Same frequency, shorter wavelength
Explanation:
The speed of a wave is given by


where,
f = Frequency
= Wavelength
It can be seen that the wavelength is directly proportional to the velocity.
Here the frequency of the sound does not change.
But the velocity of the sound in air is slower.
Hence, the frequency remains same and the wavelength shortens.
