Answer

$1.1\times10^{21}$ photons

Work Step by Step

Total energy= $32.8\,J$ Energy of one photon= $\frac{hc}{\lambda}$ $=\frac{(6.626\times10^{-34}\,J\cdot s)(3.00\times10^{8}\,m/s)}{6.5\times10^{-6}\,m}$ $=3.058\times10^{-20}\,J$ Number of photons= $\frac{\text{Total energy}}{\text{Energy of one photon}}$ $=\frac{32.8\,J}{3.058\times10^{-20}\,J}$ $=1.1\times10^{21}$
