A boy walks in the evening in the park with a flashlight with a power of 25 W . The flashlight bulb is monochromatic and emits photons with a wavelength of 590 nm . How many photons per second are emitted by the flashlight? In step 1, you have determined the energy Ep of one photon emitted by the flashlight. To complete the final step, calculate how many photons per second are emitted by the flashlight bulb.
