The energy flux of sunlight reaching the surface of the earth is $1.388 \times 10^{3} \; W/m^{2}$. How many photons (nearly) per square metre are incident on the Earth per second? Assume that the photons in the sunlight have an average wavelength of $550 \; nm$.

Calculate the number of photons entering the eye of a duck per second,corresponding to the minimum intensity of white light $(\sim 10^{-10} \ W/m^2)$. Take the area of the duck's eye as $0.4 \ cm^2$ and the average frequency of white light as $6 \times 10^{14} \ Hz$.

The rest mass energy of an electron is $0.54 \, MeV$. If the velocity of the electron is $0.8 \, c$,then the kinetic energy $(K.E.)$ of the electron is .......... $MeV$.
