photon energy: n: 1: count of photons n with energy Q p = h c/λ. [nb 2] photon flux: Φ q: count per second: s −1: T −1: photons per unit time, dn/dt with n = photon number. also called photon power: photon intensity: I: count per steradian per second sr −1 ⋅s −1: T −1: dn/dω: photon radiance: L q: count per square metre per ...
Photon energy can be expressed using any energy unit. Among the units commonly used to denote photon energy are the electronvolt (eV) and the joule (as well as its multiples, such as the microjoule). As one joule equals 6.24 × 10 18 eV, the larger units may be more useful in denoting the energy of photons with higher frequency and higher ...
The einstein (symbol E) is an obsolete unit with two conflicting definitions. It was originally defined as the energy in one mole of photons (6.022 × 10 23 photons). [1] [2] Because energy is inversely proportional to wavelength, the unit is frequency dependent. This unit is not part of the International System of Units (SI) and is redundant ...

The daily light integral (DLI) is the number of photosynthetically active photons (photons in the PAR range) accumulated in a square meter over the course of a day. It is a function of photosynthetic light intensity and duration (day length) and is usually expressed as moles of light (mol photons) per square meter (m −2) per day (d −1), or: mol·m −2 ·d −1.
An amount of light more typical in everyday experience (though much larger than the smallest amount perceivable by the human eye) is the energy of one mole of photons; its energy can be computed by multiplying the photon energy by the Avogadro constant, N A = 6.022 140 76 × 10 23 mol −1, [36] with the result of 216 kJ, about equal to the ...
A decrease in energy level from E 2 to E 1 resulting in emission of a photon represented by the red squiggly arrow, and whose energy is h ν. Electrons in atoms and molecules can change (make transitions in) energy levels by emitting or absorbing a photon (of electromagnetic radiation ), whose energy must be exactly equal to the energy ...
The energy content of this volume element at 5 km from the station is 2.1 × 10 −10 × 0.109 = 2.3 × 10 −11 J, which amounts to 3.4 × 10 14 photons per (). Since 3.4 × 10 14 > 1, quantum effects do not play a role. The waves emitted by this station are well-described by the classical limit and quantum mechanics is not needed.
