Calculate the number of photons emitted per second by a 10 W sodium vapour lamp. Assume that 60% of the consumed energy is converted into light. Wavelength of sodium light = 590 nm
(Use h = 6.63 × 10-34J-s = 4.14 × 10-15 eV-s, c = 3 × 108 m/s and me = 9.1 × 10-31kg)

उत्तर
Given:-
Power of the sodium vapour lamp, P = 10 W
Wavelength of sodium light, λ = 590 nm
Electric energy consumed by the bulb in one second = 10 J
Amount of energy converted into light = 60 %
∴ Energy converted into light = `60/100 xx 10 = 6 "J"`
Energy needed to emit a photon from the sodium atom,
`E^' = (hc)/λ`
`E^' = (6.63 xx 10^-34 xx 3 xx 10^8)/(590 xx 10^-9)`
`E^' = (6.63 xx 3)/590 xx 10^-17 "J"`
Number of photons emitted,
`n = 6/(((6.63 xx 3)/590) xx 10^-17)`
`n = (6 xx 590)/(6.63 xx 3) xx 10^17`
n = 1.77 × 1019

A mercury lamp is a convenient source for studying frequency dependence of photoelectric emission, since it gives a number of spectral lines ranging from the UV to the red end of the visible spectrum. In our experiment with rubidium photo-cell, the following lines from a mercury source were used:

Determine the value of Planck’s constant h, the threshold frequency and work function for the material.
[Note: You will notice that to get h from the data, you will need to know e (which you can take to be 1.6 × 10−19 C). Experiments of this kind on Na, Li, K, etc. were performed by Millikan, who, using his own value of e (from the oil-drop experiment) confirmed Einstein’s photoelectric equation and at the same time gave an independent estimate of the value of h.]
