Q : 11.7 (a)  A 100W sodium lamp radiates energy uniformly in all directions. The lamp is located at the centre of a large sphere that absorbs all the sodium light which is incident on it. The wavelength of the sodium light is 589\hspace{1mm}nm. What is the energy per photon associated with the sodium light?

The energy of a photon is given by

\\E=\frac{hc}{\lambda } \\

where h is the Planks constant, c is the speed of the light and lambda is the wavelength

E=\frac{6.62\times 10^{-34}\times 3\times 10^{8}}{589\times 10^{-9}}\\

E=3.37\times 10^{-19}\ J
