$A$ photodiode sensor is used to measure the output of a $300 W$ lamp kept $10 m$ away. The sensor has an opening of $2 cm$ in diameter. How many photons enter the sensor if the wavelength of the light is $660 nm$ and the exposure time is $100 ms$? (Assume that all the energy of the lamp is given off as light and $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} J s$)

  • A
    $3.6 \times 10^{13}$
  • B
    $2.8 \times 10^{13}$
  • C
    $2.5 \times 10^{13}$
  • D
    $1.8 \times 10^{13}$
