The minimum intensity of light to be detected by human eye is10-10Wm-2.The number of photons of wavelength 5.6×10-7m entering the eye, with pupil area10-6m2, per second for vision will be nearly

a
100
b
200
c
300
d
400

detailed solution

Correct option is C

energy entering into eye per sec 10-10×10-6=10-16 joules.  energy of each photon is hcλno of photons entering per sec  n=10-16energy of each photon=10-16×5.6×10-76.6×10-34×3×108=103×5.619.8≈300
