Monochromatic light of frequency $6.0 \times$ $10^{14} \mathrm{~Hz}$ is produced by a laser. The power emitted is $2 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~W}$. The number of photons emitted, on the average, by the source per second is:
  1. $5 \times 10^{16}$
  2. $5 \times 10^{17}$
  3. $5 \times 10^{14}$
  4. $5 \times 10^{15}$

Solution

$\eta=\frac{p}{m v}=\frac{2 \times 10^{-3}}{6.62 \times 10^{-34} \times 6 \times 10^{14}}$ $=5 \times 10^{15}$
