A foolish man attempted to rob a bank but only brought his red laser pointer, with a wavelength of 650. nm. The lock on the vault would require 3.33 MJ of energy in order to melt completely through and grant access to the spoils. Assuming the metal of the vault absorbed each photon and converted energy to heat, how many photons would be required to melt through the lock?
