Specific heat of water is $4.2 \, J/g^{\circ}C$. If light of frequency $3 \times 10^9 \, Hz$ is used to heat $400 \, g$ of water from $20^{\circ}C$ to $40^{\circ}C$,the number of photons needed will be:

  • A
    $1.69 \times 10^{29}$
  • B
    $1.69 \times 10^{28}$
  • C
    $2.80 \times 10^4$
  • D
    $2.80 \times 10^5$
