How many photons per second would have to be emitted


A black wall absorbs all the photons that strike it. How many photons per second would have to be emitted bye a laser that fires a beam of cross sectional area 2 mm2 perpendicularly at the wall in order to exert a pressure of 1 atm on the wall? Assume the laser which emits light of wavelength 540 nm. The speed of light is 2.99792 × 108 m/s and Planck's constant is 6.62607 × 10-34 J · s . Answer in units of photons/s.
