1.59 6th edition

Problem 1.59 reads: "Each second a certain lamp produces 9.8 x 10^20 photons with a wavelength of 434 nm. How much energy (in joules) is produced as radiation at this wavelength?". Where the does the number of photons fit into an equation?

Once you use the equation: E=hc(lambda)^-1
you will get energy in joules per photon. You then multiply that by 9.8 x 10^20 which is the number of photons.

(You should get 450 J. )
