Suppose `10^(-17)J` of light energy is needed by the interior of the human eye to see an object. How many photons of green light `(lambda=550nm)` are needed to generate this minimum amount of energy?

Answer» Correct Answer - 28 photons
`1.6xx10^(-19)J=1eV`
`10^(-17)=(10^(-17))/(1.6xx10^(-19))eV=0.655xx10^(2)`
`E=(nhc)/(lambda)" "0.625xx10^(2)=n(1240)/(550)`
`2.77xx10=n`
