Problem 88PP

Suppose an argon laser emits 1.49 × 1019 photons per second, half with a wavelength of 488.0 nm and half with a wavelength of 514.5 nm. What is the power output of this laser in watts?

A. 1.49 W

B. 5.76 W

C. 5.92 W

D. 6.07 W

Solution

Solution 88PP

Step 1 of 4

Here, we have to calculate the power output from the laser .

The equation for the power,

Where,  - Number of emitted photons.

              - Planck’s constant

              - Speed of light

              - Wavelength of the radiation
