I was looking at the in2Physics@HSC textbook and saw this example question. Can someone please explain how they get the formula for number of photons per second for b.?

Calculating photons per second (1 Viewer)
- Thread starter rand_althor
- Start date
Power = energy/time (by definition) = energy/photons × photons/time = (energy per photon)×(photons per second).I was looking at the in2Physics@HSC textbook and saw this example question. Can someone please explain how they get the formula for number of photons per second for b.?
∴ photons per second = Power/(energy per photon).
It's basically the chain rule.
