Answer:
2.63 x 10^18
Explanation:
A = 1 cm^2 = 1 x 10^-4 m^2
λ = 10,000 nm = 10,000 x 10^-9 m = 10^-5 m
T = 37 degree C = 37 + 273 = 310 k
Energy of each photon = h c / λ
where, h is the Plank's constant and c be the velocity of light
Energy of each photon = (6.63 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / 10^-5 = 1.989 x 10^-20 J
Energy radiated per unit time = σ A T^4
Where, σ is Stefan's constant
Energy radiated per unit time = 5.67 x 10^-8 x 10^-4 x 310^4 = 0.05236 J
Number of photons per second = Energy radiated per unit time / Energy of
each photon
Number of photons per second = 0.05236 / (1.989 x 10^-20) = 2.63 x 10^18
