The average threshold of dark-adapted (scotopic) vision is 4.00 x 10-11 W/m2 at a central wavelength of 500 nm. If light with this intensity and wavelength enters the eye and the pupil is open to its maximum diameter of 7.00 mm, how many photons per second enter the eye?
The threshold of dark-adapted (scotopic) vision is 4.5 ✕ 10−11 W/m2 at a central wavelength of 500 nm. If light with this intensity and wavelength enters the eye when the pupil is open to its maximum diameter of 7.9 mm, how many photons per second enter the eye?
A photovoltaic cell converts light into electrical energy. Suppose a certain photovoltaic cell is only 74.9% efficient, in other words, that 74.9% of the light energy is ultimately recovered. If the energy output of this cell is used to heat water, how many 622.4 nm photons must be absorbed by the photovoltaic cell in order to heat 30 g of water from 22.17°C to 63.41°?
