How many photons will be required to raise the temperature of 2. 1 gg of water by 1. 7 kk ?

Sagot :

The photon which is required to raise the temperature of 2.1 gm of water by 1.7 kk is 2.16 x [tex]10^{20} photons[/tex]

Given the following data:

Mass of water = [tex]2.1 gm[/tex]

Change in temperature = [tex]1.7 Kelvin[/tex]

Wavelength of infrared =  [tex]2.9[/tex] х [tex]10^{-4} cm[/tex]

Specific heat capacity of water = 4.18 J/g°K.

Conversion:

100 cm = 1 m

[tex]2.9 X 10^{-4} cm = 2.9 X 10^{-6}[/tex]

To find the amount of photons required to raise the temperature of 2.1 g of water:

First of all, we would determine the quantity of energy required to raise the temperature of water:

Mathematically, quantity of energy is given by the formula;

[tex]Q = mc[/tex]θ

Where:

Q represents the quantity of energy.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity.

∅ represents the change in temperature.

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]Q = 2.1(4.18)(1.7)\\\\Q = 14.92 Joules[/tex]

Mathematically, the Planck-Einstein relation is given by the formula:

[tex]E = hf[/tex]

Where:

h is Planck constant.

f is photon frequency.

To find the photon frequency, we would use this formula:

[tex]Photon frequency = \frac{speed}{wavelength} \\\\Photon frequency = \frac{3(10^{8} )}{2.9(10^{-6} )}\\ \\Photon frequency = \frac{300000000}{0.0000029}\\ \\Photon frequency = 1.04 X 10^{14} Hz[/tex]

Applying Planck-Einstein's relation, we would determine the energy required by each of photon:

[tex]E = 6.626[/tex] х [tex]10^{-34}[/tex] х [tex]1.04[/tex] х [tex]10^{14}[/tex]

[tex]E= 6.89[/tex] х [tex]10^{-20} Joules[/tex]

Now, we can calculate the amount of photons required to raise the temperature of 2.1 g of water by using this expression:

[tex]Number of photons = \frac{Q}{E} \\\\Number of photons = \frac{14.92}{6.89(10^{-20} )}\\ \\Number of photons = 2.16 X 10^{20} photons[/tex]

Disclaimer: Given Question is incomplete, please find the correct question:

Water is exposed to infrared radiation of wavelength 2.9x10-4 cm. Assume that all the radiation is absorbed and converted to heat. How many photons will be required to raise the temperature of 2.1 g of water by 1.7 K? Express your answer using two significant figures.

Thus the concluded that number of photon is 2.16 x [tex]10^{20}[/tex] photons.
