At noon on a clear day, sunlight reaches the earth\'s surface at Madison, Wisconsin, with an average power of approximately 3.00

alexira [117]

Energy of a wave:
E = nhc/λ
3000 = (n x 6.63 x 10⁻³⁴ x 3 x 10⁸)/(510 x 10⁻⁹)
n = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ photons per second per meter²
2.70 cm² = 2.70/10,000 m²
= 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
Photons per second = 7.69 x 10 ²¹ x 2.7 x 10⁻⁴
= 2.08 x 10¹⁸ photons per second
