Question

Energy from Sun is received on earth at the rate of . If average wavelength of solar light is taken as 550 nm, then how many photons are received on earth per meter2 per second? 

Solution

Correct option is

Energy received from the sun is  

       

Energy of 1 photon received from the sun is 

       

             

           

           

If the number of photons reaching the earth per meter2 per second be n, then their energy will be  joule. Thus
