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 cetimeter facing the light source at a distance of 100m.

1.) find the number of photons hitting the detector every second.

2.) what is the maximum E field of the E M wave hitting the detector? Answer in mN/C.

3.) what is the maximum value of the B field of this E M wave? Answer in pT.

4.) how far away would you have to place the detector to only receive 1 photon per second from the light bulb? answer in km

1. Why might a stream of red photons not cause an electron to be emitted from a gold surface? A. The stream of red photons might not be hitting the surface with enough total energy per second B. An electron absorbs the energy of one photon, and the red photon has too small of a wavelength to deliver enough energy. C. An electron absorbs the energy of one photon, and the red photon has too small of a frequency to...
