A laser emits 6.85 x 1018 photons per second in a thin beam with circular cross section having diameter 1.2 mm.  The wavelength of the photons is 514.5 nm. What is the laser output power? (enter your answer with 3 significant figures)
energy flux of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth is 1.388 x 10^3 W/m^2. How many photons (nearly) per square meter are incident on the Earth per second? Assume that the photons in the sunlight have an average wavelength of 550 nm.
The average threshold of dark-adapted (scotopic) vision is 4.00 x 10-11 W/m? at a central wavelength of 500 nm. If light having this intensity and wavelength enters the eye and the pupil is open to its maximum diameter of 8.50 mm, how many photons per second enter the eye?
