QJEEM25Ph6240: JEE Main 2025 Physics - Class 12 JEEM25Ph6240 Solution: The ratio of the power of a light source to that the light…

The ratio of the power of a light source S1S_1 to that the light source S2S_2 is 2.S12 . S_1 is emitting 2×10152 \times 10^{15} photons per second at 600 nm . If the wavelength of the source S2S_2 is 300 nm , then the number of photons per second emitted by S2S_2 is __________ ×1014\times 10^{14} .

Step-by-Step Verified Solution

amp; Since power emitting by a source is given as amp;amp;= Total energy emitted  time amp;=(E1 photon )× Number of photons (N)tamp;P1=(E1)n\begin{aligned}&\text { Since power emitting by a source is given as }\\&\begin{aligned}& =\frac{\text { Total energy emitted }}{\text { time }} \\& =\frac{\left(E_1 \text { photon }\right) \times \text { Number of photons }(N)}{t} \\& P_1=\left(E_1\right) n\end{aligned}\end{aligned}

amp;amp;P1P2=(E1)n1(E2)n2=(hCλ1)n1(hCλ2)n2amp;P1P2=(λ2λ1)n1n2amp; Substituting the given values amp;amp;2=(300600)×2×1015n2amp;n2=12×1015=5×1014 Photon /sec\begin{aligned}&\begin{aligned}& \frac{\mathrm{P}_1}{\mathrm{P}_2}=\frac{\left(\mathrm{E}_1\right) \mathrm{n}_1}{\left(\mathrm{E}_2\right) \mathrm{n}_2}=\frac{\left(\frac{\mathrm{hC}}{\lambda_1}\right) \mathrm{n}_1}{\left(\frac{\mathrm{hC}}{\lambda_2}\right) \mathrm{n}_2} \\& \frac{\mathrm{P}_1}{\mathrm{P}_2}=\left(\frac{\lambda_2}{\lambda_1}\right) \frac{\mathrm{n}_1}{\mathrm{n}_2}\end{aligned}\\&\text { Substituting the given values }\\&\begin{aligned}& 2=\left(\frac{300}{600}\right) \times \frac{2 \times 10^{15}}{\mathrm{n}_2} \\& \mathrm{n}_2=\frac{1}{2} \times 10^{15}=5 \times 10^{14} \text { Photon } / \mathrm{sec}\end{aligned}\end{aligned}
