A light source emits monochromatic light of wavelength 555 nm. The source consumes 100 W of electric power and emits 35 W of radiant flux. Calculate the overall luminous efficiency.
Time taken by the laser beam to return to Earth after reflection from the Moon = 2.56 s
Speed of light = 3 × 108 m/s
Time taken by the laser beam to...
A body is said to have power of 1 watt if it does work at the rate of 1 joule in 1 s,
i.e., 1W=1J/1s
Power is given by the expression,
Power=Work done...
The radiant flux of 555nm part is 40W and of the 600nm part is 30W
(a) Total radiant flux = 40W + 30W = 70W
(b) Luminous flux = (L.Fllux)555nm + (L.Flux)600nm
=...
(b) The luminous efficiency of a monochromatic source of wavelength 555 nm is always greater than that of a white light source of same power.
(c) The illuminating power of a...
a) The gas emits 6 wavelengths, let it be in nth excited state.
=> n(n-1)/2=6=>n=4
So, The gas is in 4th excited state.
b) Total no.of wavelengths in the transition is 6. We have ...
