How many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.364 j at 477 nm?

1.00 × 10¹⁸

Explanation:

1. Calculate the energy of one photon

The formula for the energy of a photon is

E = hc/λ  

h = 6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ J·s; c = 2.998 × 10⁸ m·s⁻¹

λ = 477 nm = 477 × 10⁻⁹ m                              Insert the values

E = (6.626 × 10⁻³⁴ × 2.998× 10⁸)/(477 × 10⁻⁹)

E = 4.165× 10⁻¹⁹ J

2. Calculate the number of photons

Divide the total energy by the energy of one photon.

No. of photons = 0.418 × 1/4.165 × 10⁻¹⁹      

No. of photons = 1.00 × 10¹⁸

one negative thing it that it can kill water animals. another negative thing is it can cause the destruction of ecosystem. one way water pollution can be reduced is to conserve energy.
