A light detector has an absorbing area of `3.00 xx 10^(-6) m^(2)` and absorbs `50%` of the incident light, which is at wavelength 600 nm. The detector faces an isotropic source, 12.0 m from the source. The energy E emitted by the source versus time t is given in Fig. 37-19 Problem 28.
At what rate are photons absorbed by the detector?
