A certain dye absorbs light of $λ = 4000 Å$ and then fluorescences light of $λ = 5000 Å$ . Assuming that under given conditions 50% of the absorbed energy is re-emitted out as fluorescence, calculate the ratio of the number of quanta emitted out to the number of quanta absorbed

Detailed Solution

Number of quanta emitted out to the number of quanta absorbed can be calculated as;

$N_{1} \times \frac{h c}{4000} \times 0.5 = N_{2} \times \frac{h c}{5000} \Rightarrow \frac{N_{2}}{N_{1}} = \frac{5}{8}$
