Question
A laser pulse at 500. nm contains 4.95 mJ of energy. How many photons are in the laser pulse?
Expert Solution

arrow_forward
Step 1
E = nhv
E is energy
n is number of photons
h is planck's constant
v is frequency and it is ratio of speed of light to wavelength [c/λ]
So now E = 4.95 x 10-3 J
λ = 500nm
c = 3 x 10+8 m/s
h = 6.62 x 10-34 m2 Kg/s
Now substitution of values will give us number of photons
