Detailed Solution

Energy emitted by sodium lamp in 1 sec.

=Watt×sec=(60×1)J

Energy of photon emitted =hcλ

                                          =6.625×1034x3×1085893×1010=3.37×1019J

power = n .hϑ

Number of photons emitted per second=603.37×1019

Number of photons emitted in 10 hours

         =17.8×1019×10×60×60=6.40×1024
