Problem

A laser pointer emits a continuous beam of red light of power 5.0 mW5.0\,\text{mW} at a wavelength of 650 nm650\,\text{nm}. (i) Find the energy of one photon in the laser beam. (ii) Determine the number of photons emitted by the laser per second. (iii) If the beam remains switched on for 10 s10\,\text{s}, calculate the total number of photons emitted in this interval.
