It The wavelengths of light emitted by a firefly span the visible spectrum but have maximum intensity
Question:
It The wavelengths of light emitted by a firefly span the visible spectrum but have maximum intensity near \(550 \mathrm{~nm}\). A typical flash lasts for \(100 \mathrm{~ms}\) and has a power of \(1.2 \mathrm{~mW}\). If we assume that all of the light is emitted at the peak-intensity wavelength of \(550 \mathrm{~nm}\), how many photons are emitted in one flash?
