If complications arise after cataract surgery, the ophthalmologist will use a Nd:YAG laser to perform a posterior capsulotomy. If the wavelength of the laser used is 1064 nm (infrared), and the pulse duration is 2.00 x 10–6 s whose energy is 0.245 J per pulse, how many photons are produced in each pulse?
