Detailed Solution

The number of photons released per unit time
n= power  energy of each photon =W(hc/λ)
These photons are spread out in all directions over an area 4πr2. The share of an area s is s/4πr2 of total  number of photons. So, the number of photons striking area s of photo-sensitive surface per unit time
n=W(hc/λ)×s4πr2=Wλs4πhcr2
