The human eye can barely detect a star whose intensity at the earth’s surface is 1.6 x 10-11 W/m2. If the dark-adapted eye has a pupil diameter of 7.0 mm, how many photons per second enter the eye from the star? Assume the starlight has a wavelength of 550 nm.
A light-emitting diode (LED) connected to a 3.0 V power supply emits 440 nm blue light. The current in the LED is 10 mA, and the LED is 60% efficient at converting electric power input into light power output. How many photons per second does the LED emit?
A limitation on how many spectra per second can be recorded by a time-of-flight mass spectrometer is the time it takes the slowest ion to go from the source to the detector. Suppose we want to scan up to m/z 500 for ions with z = 1. Calculate the speed of this heaviest ion if it is accelerated through 5.00 kV in the source. How long would it take to drift 2.00 m through a spectrometer? At what frequency could you record spectra if a new extraction cycle were begun each time the heaviest ion reached the detector? What would be the frequency if you wanted to scan up to m/z 1000?
