A laser emits a single 3.0-ms pulse of light that has a frequency of 2.83E11 Hz and a total power of 65000 W. How many photons are in the pulse? Please provide all equations and work. 6.0E23
1.0E24
2.4E25
3.6E25
4.8E26

The number of photons in the pulse is 1.04 x 10²⁴

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the emitted photons, f = 2.83 x 10¹¹ Hz

duration of the incident light, t = 3 ms = 3 x 10⁻³ s

power of the incident light, P = 65,000 W

The energy of each photon emitted is calculated as;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant, = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

E =  6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ x  2.83 x 10¹¹

E = 1.875 x 10⁻²² J

let the number of photons in the pulse = n

n(E)= Power x time
