Problem

An isotropic point source emits light with wavelength = 589 nm. The radiation power of the source is P = 10 W. Find: (a) the mean density of the flow of photons at a distance r 2.0 m from the source; (b) the distance between the source and the point at which the mean concentration of photons is equal to n = 100 cm -3.
