how many photons are produced in a laser pulse of 0.558 J at 431 nm?
Energy of 1 photon =h*c/lambda
= (6.626*10^-34)*(3*10^8) / (431*106-9 )
= 4.612*10^-19 J
Total energy = 0.558 J
Number of photon = total energy /energy of 1 photon
=0.558 / (4.612*10^-19)
= 1.21*10^18 photons
Answer: 1.21*10^18 photons
