Question
The eyes of certain reptiles pass a single visual signal to the brain when the visual receptors are struck by
photons of a wavelength of 850 nm. If a total energy of 3.15 x 10 J is required to trip the signal, what.is
the minimum number of photons that must strike the receptor? (Hint total energy is for all photons;
calculate the energy of one photon first).
Speed of lightc= 3.00 x 10* m/s
Planck's constant h 6.626 x 10 Js
