In astronomical observations, signals observed from the distant stars are generally weak. If the photon detector receives a total of 3.15 × 10–18 J from the radiations of 600 nm, calculate the number of photons received by the detector.
Energy of 1 photon = hv= hc/ λ = (6.626x10-34)(3x108) / 600x10-9 = 3.313 x 10-19J
Total energy received = 3.15 x10-8J
Therefore no of photons received = 3.15x10-18 / 3.313x10-19 = 9.51
