$A$ sensor is exposed for time $t$ to a lamp of power $P$ placed at a distance $l$. The sensor has a circular opening that is $4d$ in diameter. Assuming all energy of the lamp is given off as light,the number of photons entering the sensor if the wavelength of light is $\lambda$ is (given $l >> d$):

  • A
    $\frac{P\lambda d^2 t}{hc l^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{4P\lambda d^2 t}{hc l^2}$
  • C
    $\frac{P\lambda d^2 t}{4hc l^2}$
  • D
    $\frac{P\lambda d^2 t}{16hc l^2}$
