Correct Answer - `(5)/(16),(10^(20))/(80pi)`
Energy incident/area of sphere /sec`=10/(4pi(0.1)^(2))` Energy incident on atom
`=10/(4pi (0.1)^(2))xxpixx(0.05xx10^(-9))^(2)=6.25xx10^(-19) J`
Energy of one photon `=(hc)/lambda=12.525 eV`
No. of photon striking atom/sec
`=(6.25xx10^(-19))=0.3125`
No. of photons /area.
`=10/(4pi (0.1)^(2))xx(1)/(12.525xx1.6xx10^(-19))=(10^(20)xx10xx10)/(80pi)`
since `n=1% n=10^(20)/(80 pi)`
