You have a 1 W light bulb in your lab. It puts out light of only 1 frequency. The wavelength of this light is 500nm. you set up

a detector with a surface area of 1 square centimeter facing the light source at a distance of 100m.
Required:
a. Find the number of photons hitting the detector every second.
b. What is the maximum E field of the E M wave hitting the detector?
c. What is the maximum value of the B field of this E M wave?
d. How far away would you have to place the detector to only receive 1 photon per second from the light bulb?

Answer:

a)   # _photon = 2.5 10¹⁸ photons / s,   b) E = 10⁻² N / C,  c)     B = 3 10⁻¹¹ T

d)  r=  2 10⁹ m

Explanation:

a) Let's solve this exercise in part, let's start by finding the energy of each photon using the Planck relation

          E₀ = h f

          c = λ f

          E₀ = h c /λ

          E₀ = 6.63 10⁻³³⁴   3 10⁸/500 10⁻⁹

          E₀ = 3.978 10⁻⁻¹⁹ J

Let's use a direct ratio rule to find the number of photons

         #_foton = E / Eo

         #_fototn = 1 / 3.978 10⁻¹⁹

         # _photon = 2.5 10¹⁸ photons / s

b) The intensity received by the detector is related to the electric field

          I = E²

Let's look for the intensity that the detector receives, suppose that the emission is shapeless throughout the space

          I = P / A

          P = I A

Let's use index 1 for the point on the bulb and index 2 for the point on the detector.

The area of ​​a sphere is

          A = 4π r²

         P = I₁ A₁ = I₂ A₂

         I₁ r₁² = I₂ r₂²

         I₂ = I₁  r₁²/r₂²

         I₂ = I₁    1 / 100²

         I₂ = I₁ 10⁻⁴

we must know the intensity at the output of the bulb suppose that I₁ = 1 J

          I₂ = 10⁻⁴ J

let's look for the electric field

         E =√I

         E = √10⁻⁴

         E = 10⁻² N / C

c) for the calculation of the magnetic field we use that the field is in phase

               E / B = c

               B = E / c

               B = 10⁻² / 3 10⁸

               B = 3 10⁻¹¹ T

d) Let's use a direct proportions rule if we fear 2.5 10¹⁸ photons in an area  A = 4π R² where R = 100 m how many photons are there in the area of ​​the detector r = 1 cm,   A’= 10⁻⁴ m²

             #_photons = 2.5 10¹⁸ A_detector / A_sphere

             #_photons = 2.5 1018 10-4 / 4π 10⁴

             #_photons = 2 10⁹ photons in the detector area

for the number of photons to decrease to 1, the radius of the sphere must be 2 10⁹ m

What is the thermal energy of an object?
mr Goodwill [35]
The thermal energy of an object is the energy contained in the motion and vibration of its molecules. Thermal energy is measured through temperature. The energy contained in the small motions of the object's molecules can be broken up into a combination of microscopic kinetic energy and potential energy.
