Question:

Compute a rough estimate of the number of photons emitted each second by a 100-W lightbulb. You might make the simplifying assumptions that 

(1) All of the electrical energy is converted into radiant energy and

(2) The “average” photon that is emitted has an energy corresponding to the peak of the BBR curve for an object at 3,000 K.
