What is the frequency of an organism emitting a monochromatic green light? A = Wavelength (lambda) = 395nm f = If it emitted one photon of light, what is its energy? What is the power of the light source (light is emitted in all directions) if a sensor (camera) reads an intensity of 5.0 x 10-17 W/m2 when the organism is 0.1m from the sensor?
