Help with electromagnetics and radiation!
« on: November 08, 2009, 10:58:43 PM »
A green leaf has a surface area of 3.00 cm squared. If solar radiation is 1000 W/m^2, how many photons strike the leaf every second? Assume three significant figures and an average wavelength of 504 nm for solar radiation.

OK, what relevant equations have you come across? Can you, for instance, calculate how many watts of solar radiation hit the leaf?
