A 100-watt light bulb radiates energy at a rate of 100 J/s. (The watt, a unit of power or energy over time, is defined as 1 J/s.) If all of the light emitted has a wavelength of 525 nm , how many photons are emitted per second? Enter your answer numerically in terms of photons per second. Be sure to include three significant figures.

The eyes of certain reptiles pass a single visual signal to the brain when the visual receptors are struck by photons of a wavelength of 850 nm. If a total energy of 3.151014 J is required to trip the signal, what is the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor?
A lightbulb radiates 8.5% of the energy supplied to it as visible light. If the wavelength of the visible light is assumed to be 565 nm, how many photons per second are emitted by a 75-W lightbulb? (1W=1J/s)
Arrange the following three frequencies of light in order of increasing energy per photon: a.100MHzb.10MHzc.100GHz
Answer the following questions about a Blu-ray laser: (a) The laser on a Blu-ray player has a wavelength of 405 nm. In what region of the electromagnetic spectrum is this radiation? What is its frequency? (b) A Blu-ray laser has a power of 5 millwatts (1watt=1Js1). How many photons of light are produced by the laser in 1 hour? (c) The ideal resolution of a player using a laser (such as a Blu-ray player), which determines how close together data can be stored on a compact disk, is determined using the following formula: Resolution =0.60(/NA), where A is the wavelength of the laser and NA is the numerical aperture. Numerical aperture is a measure of the size of the spot of light on the disk; the larger the NA, the smaller the spot. In a typical Blu-ray system, NA = 0.95. If the 405-nm laser is used in a Blu-ray player, what is the closest that information can be stored on a Blu-ray disk? (d) The data density of a Blu-ray disk using a 405-nm laser is 1.5107 bits mm2. Disks have an outside diameter of 120 mm and a hole of 15-mm diameter. How many data bits can be contained on the disk? If a Blu-ray disk can hold 9,400,000 pages of text, how many data bits are needed for a typed page? (Hint: Determine the area of the disk that is available to hold data. The area inside a circle is given by A=r2, where the radius r is one-half of the diameter.)

Photons are emitted in the Lyman series as hydrogen atoms undergo transitions from various excited states to the ground state. If ground-state He+ are present in the same gas (near stars, for example), can they absorb these photons? Explain.
Human color vision is " produced" by the nervous system based on how three different cone receptors interact with photons of light in the eye. These three different types of cones interact with photons of different frequency light, as indicated in the following chart: Cone Type Range of Light Frequency Detected S 6.00-7.49 1014s1 M 4.76-6.62 1014s1 L 4.28-6.00 1014s1 What wavelength ranges (and corresponding colors) do the three types of cones detect?
A particular transition of the rubidium atom emits light whose frequency is 3.84 1014 Hz. (Hz is the abbreviation for hertz, which is equivalent to the unit/s, or s1.) Is this light in the visible spectrum? If so, what is the color of the light? (See Figure 7.5.)
