Detailed Solution

Intensity at a distance x from point source is given by  I=P4πx2  

consider an elemental shell of radius x and thickness dx, in this

region, the energy contained is dE=Ic×4πx2dx=Pdxc  

Let dn be the number of photons in this elemental shell, then

 dn×hcλ=dE=Pdxc

          dn=Pλdxhc2

Total no.of photons in the shell of inner radius r and outer radius 2r is

n=dn=r2rPλdxhc2=Pλrhc2
