A certain laser outputs pure blue light (photon energy 3.1 eV) with power 650 milliwatts (0.65 watts). How many photons per second does this laser emit

Respuesta :

The number of photons per second emitted by the laser is [tex]7.64 \times 10^{-19} \ photons /s[/tex].

The given parameters:

  • energy of the photon, E = 3.1 eV
  • power of the laser, P = 650 mW

The number of photons per second emitted by the laser is calculated as follows;

[tex]n(P \times t ) = E[/tex]

where;

  • n is the number of photons
  • 1 ev = 1.602 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

[tex]n = \frac{E}{P\times t} \\\\n = \frac{3.1 \times 1.602 \times 10^{-19}}{0.65 \times t} \\\\n = 7.64 \times 10^{-19} \ photons/s[/tex]

Thus, the number of photons per second emitted by the laser is [tex]7.64 \times 10^{-19} \ photons /s[/tex].
