Minimum light intensity that can be perc...

Minimum light intensity that can be perceived by normal human eye is about `10^(-10) Wm^(-2)`. What is the minimum number of photons of wavelength 660 nm that must enter the pupil in one second, for one to see the object?Area of cross-section of the pupil is `10^(-4)m^(2)`?

The pupil allows light to pass through it and has a diameter of 2xx10^(-3)m. If minimum light intensity that should enter the eye is 1.8xx10^(-10) W//m^(-2) , then find the number of photon in visible range must enter the pupil to have vision. Wavelength of photon in visible range can be taken as 5,500Å .
