Q.

The eye can detect 5 x 104 photons per square meter per sec of green light (λ=5000) while the ear can detect 10-13(W/m2). The factor by which the eye is more sensitive as a power detector than the ear is close to

E=123755000=2.475eV4×1019J

So the minimum intensity to which the eye can respond

IEye =( Photon flux )×( Energy of a photon )IEye =5×104×4×10192×1014W/m2

Now as lesser the intensity required by a detector for detection, more sensitive it will be

SEye SEar =IEar IEye =10132×1014=5 i.e., as intensity (power) detector, the eye is five times more sensitive than ear.
