2. Overhead sunlight arrives on the surface of the earth at
an intensity of about 1,000W/m2. How many photons per second strike
a solar panel whose area is 1.6 square meters, if the typical
wavelength isํœ†=0.5ํœ‡m?
3. Using the setup in Problem 2, how many photons enter your
pupil every second if you look directly at the sun? When doing so,
your pupil restricts to a diameter of about 2 mm.
