A laser emits 6.85 x 1018 photons per second in a thin beam with circular cross section having diameter 1.2 mm. The wavelength of the photons is 514.5 nm.
What is the laser output power? (enter your answer with 3 significant figures)
Your answer is partially correct.
A laser emits light at wavelength A = 598 nm in a beam of diameter 3.7 mm and at an energy-emission rate of 5.5 mW. A detector in
the beam's path absorbs the beam. At what rate per unit area does the detector absorb photons?

Units
photons/s-m^2
An photon with wavelength 3.38 nm is emitted when an electron in a one-electron ion transitions from the first excited state to the ground state.
Another emission line, for the same ion is observed at 11.401 nm. It is known that the final energy state in this transition is 2, what is the initial energy state?
