A 60 W bulb is place d at a distance of 4 m from you. The bulb is emitting light of wavelength 600 nm uniformly in all directions. In 0.1 s, how many photons enter your eye if the pupil of the eye is having a diameter of 2 mm? [Take hc = 1240 eV-nm]

The intensity of light at the location of your eye isI=P4πr2=604π×42Wm−2The energy entering into your eye per second isP1=I×πd24where d is the diameter of pupil.P1=604π×42×π×2×10−324=9.375×10−7Js−1Let n be the number of photons entering into the eye per second, thenP1=n×hcλ9.375×10−7=n×1240×1.6×10−19600n=2.84×1012 photon s−1So, the number of photons entering the eye in 0.1 s= 0.1 n=2.84×1011
