Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter

Question:

A radio transmitter radiated 1 kW power at a wavelength 198.6 m. How many photons does it emit per second?

Options:

$10^{10}$

$10^{20}$

$10^{30}$

$10^{40}$

Correct Answer:

$10^{30}$

Explanation:

Here, number of photons emitted per second,

$n=\frac{P}{E}=\frac{P}{hv}=\frac{Pλ}{hc}$  $(∵ v=\frac{c}{λ})$

$=\frac{1000×198.6}{6.6×10^{-34}×3×10^8}=10^{30}$
