A 100 watt bulb emits monochromatic light of wavelength 400 nm . Calculate the number of photons emitted per second by the bulb.

Estimating the following two numbers should be interesting. The first number will tell you why radio engineers do not need to worry much about photons! The second number tells you why our eye can never ‘count photons’, even in barely detectable light. (a) The number of photons emitted per second by a Medium wave transmitter of 10 kW power, emitting radiowaves of wavelength 500 m. (b) The number of photons entering the pupil of our eye per second corresponding to the minimum intensity of white light that we humans can perceive (~10^(-10) W m^(-2)) . Take the area of the pupil to be about 0.4 cm2 , and the average frequency of white light to be about 6 xx 10^(14) Hz
