Answer

Please see the work below.

Work Step by Step

We know that $\nu=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $\nu=\frac{2.998\times 10^8}{2,80\times 10^{-6}}=1.0707\times 10^{14} s^{-1}$ We also know that $E=h\nu$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $E=6.626\times 10^{-34}\times1.0707\times 10^{14}=7.0945\times 10^{-20}J$ Now $n=4.184\times 10^4\times \frac{1 \space photon}{7.0945\times 10^{-20}}=5.8974\times 10^{23} photons$
