45. Consider two 100 watt lasers, the first of which emits violet light while the second emits red light, which laser if either, emits more photons per second?
A. Both lasers emit equal number of photons per second
B. The red light laser
C. The violet light laser
D. data insufficient
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
For the same power, photon rate = power / photon energy; red photons have lower energy than violet, so the red laser emits more photons per second.

The light given out by the glow worm is due to
A. reflection of moon light
B. bioluminiscence
C. fluorescence
D. none of the above
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
Glow worms produce light through biochemical reactions in their bodies, i.e., bioluminescence, not by reflecting or fluorescing external light.

The wavelength of light observed on earth from a moving star is found to decrease by 0.05%. Relative to earth, the star is
A. moving away with a velocity of 1.5 × 10^4 m/s
B. moving closer with a velocity of 1.5 × 10^4 m/s
C. moving close with a velocity of 1.5 × 10^5 m/s
D. moving away with a velocity of 1.5 × 10^5 m/s
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Decrease in wavelength (blue shift) implies the star is moving toward Earth; Δλ/λ ≈ v/c = 0.0005 gives v ≈ 1.5 × 10^5 m/s, so option B.
1109
The characteristic X-ray radiation is emitted when
A. the bombarding electrons knock out electrons from the inner shell of the target atoms and one of the outer electrons falls into this vacancy
B. the valence electrons in the target atoms are removed as a result of the collision
C. the source of electrons emits a mono-energetic beam
D. the electrons are accelerated to a fixed energy
Answer & Solution

Report
Correct Option
Explanation
Characteristic X-rays arise when an inner-shell electron is removed and an outer-shell electron drops into the vacancy, emitting X-rays.

λ is proportional to:
A. 1/E for photons ; 1/√E for particles
B. 1/√E for photons ; 1/E for particles
C. 1/E for both photons and particles
D. 1/√E for both photons and particles
Answer & Solution

Correct Option
Explanation
For photons λ ∝ 1/E, while for non-relativistic particles de Broglie λ ∝ 1/√E, hence option B is correct.
