On a certain day, light is shining perpendicularly on the surface of the earth with an
intensity of 713 W/m². Assuming that all the photons in the light have the same
wavelength (in vacuum) of 733 nm, determine the number of photons per second per
square meter that reach the earth.
Enter your answer in scientific notation.
If your answer is 5.14 x 104, input 5.14e+4 as your answer.
Most remote controllers for AV equipment emit radiation with the wavelength profile shown in the figure below.
