Answer:

The number of photons in the pulse is 1.04 x 10²⁴

Explanation:

Given;

frequency of the emitted photons, f = 2.83 x 10¹¹ Hz

duration of the incident light, t = 3 ms = 3 x 10⁻³ s

power of the incident light, P = 65,000 W

The energy of each photon emitted is calculated as;

E = hf

where;

h is Planck's constant, = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ Js

E =  6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ x  2.83 x 10¹¹

E = 1.875 x 10⁻²² J

let the number of photons in the pulse = n

n(E)= Power x time

[tex]n = \frac{Pt}{E} \\\\n = \frac{65,000 \times 3\times 10^{-3}}{1.875 \times 10^{-22}} \\\\n = 1.04 \times 10^{24} \ photons[/tex]
