Answer:
Explanation:
wavelength λ = 12.4 x 10⁻² m .
energy of one photon = h c / λ
= 6.6 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸ / 12.4 x 10⁻²
= 1.6 x 10⁻²⁴ J .
Let density of coffee be equal to density of water .
mass of coffee = 255 x 1 = 255 g
heat required to heat up coffee = mass x specific heat x rise in temp
= 255 x 4.18 x ( 62-25 )
= 39438.3 J .
No of photons required = heat energy required / energy of one photon
= 39438.3 / 1.6 x 10⁻²⁴
= 24649 x 10²⁴
= 24.65 x 10²⁷ .
