Step 1: Explanation
A photon is the smallest unit of electromagnetic radiation. So, it is the basic unit of all light. Photon is an imaginary concept. It is a charge less and mass less particle which is always in a state of motion.
For a photon of wavelength λ meters.
Energy of one photon = hc / λ where h = planck's constant = 6.626 × 10-34 J-s and C = 3 × 108 m/s =speed of light
Hence for energy of N photon just multiply by N
Energy of N photon = N × ( hc / λ )
Step 2: Calculation
Energy= 2×15 J = 30 J [ assuming that the data is correct ]
λ = 682 nm = 682 × 10-9 m [ because 1nm = 10-9 m ]
By using the above equation
Energy of N photon = N × ( hc / λ )
=> N = Energy / ( hc / λ )
=> N = ( Energy × λ ) / hc
By putting their values, For red light photons, we get
=> N = ( 30 J × 682 × 10-9 m ) / ( 6.626 × 10-34 J-s × 3 × 108 m/s ) = 1.03 × 1020 photons of red light
So, 1.03 × 1020 of red light photons are needed.
