Answer #1

we have:

wavelength = 6.2*10^-6 m

1st calculate energy of 1 photon

we have:

wavelength = 6.2*10^-6 m

we have below equation to be used:

Energy = Planck constant*speed of light/wavelength

=(6.626*10^-34 J.s)*(3.0*10^8 m/s)/(6.2*10^-6 m)

= 3.206*10^-20 J

number of photon = total energy/energy of 1 photon

n = 41.0/3.206*10^-20

= 1.28*10^21

Answer: 1.28*10^21

A particular microwave oven delivers 750 watts (exact value). (A watt is a unit of power, which is the joules of energy delivered, or used, per second.) If the oven uses microwave radiation with a wavelength of 12.6 cm, how many photons of this radiation are required to heat 1.00 g of water by 1.00 °C, assuming that all of the photons are absorbed? The specific heat of water is 4.184 J / g•°C at 25°C.

The mercury lamp produces about 30 W of outgoing light, and the fraction striking the photodiode is about 0.05% in the Violet2 line (violet2 = 404.6 nm for wavelength). The capacitance of the capacitor inside the detector is 10 uF, and it takes about one second to charge it to approximately 2 V. By using the formula Energy/time = Nphhf, where Nph is the number of photons per second, find the rate at which photons strike the photodetector when the...
