number of photons can be calculated by dividing the needed energy by the energy per photon.
The minimum energy needed is given as 2 x 10^-17 joules
Energy per photon = hc / lambda where h is planck's constant, c is the speed of light and lambda is the wavelength
Energy per photon = (6.626 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8) / (475 x 10^-9)
= 4.18 x 10^-19 J
number of photons = (2 x 10^-17) / (4.18 x 10^-19)
= 47.79 photons which is approximately 48 photons
