We want to find how many photons per second a laser emits given that we know the energy of a single photon and the power of the laser, we will get:
1.90712*10^18 photons per second.
So we know that the photon energy is 1.8 eV, and the laser power is:
P = 0.55 watts
Remember that:
1 watt = 1 J/s
And:
1 eV = 1.60218*10^(-19) J
Then we can convert the two values that we have so we have both in joules:
Power = P = 0.55 J/s
Energy = 1.8 eV = 1.8*(1.60218*10^(-19) J) = 2.883924*10^(-19) J
The number of photons emitted per second is just the quotient between the power and the energy of a single photon, we have:
Number = (0.55 J/s)/(2.883924*10^(-19) J) = 1.90712*10^18 photons per second.
