Estimate (computing) how many photons a bulb with 100 W emitted per second in the visible range of light.
Notes 1For simplicity, consider that: λ = 500 Nm

---

Lösung:

1. E=h·f = h·c/λ
2. E_total = x·h·f = x·h·c/λ
       E_total corresponds to 100 W/s
       x is the number of particles at 500 Nm
       x = E_total · λ / (h·c)
       x = 100J·500·10^-9 m / (6.026·10^-34 Js · 3.0·10⁸m/s)
       x = 2.5·10²⁰, i.e. about 1/1000 mol
