The ratio of the power of a light source $S_1$ to that of the light source $S_2$ is $2$. $S_1$ is emitting $2 \times 10^{15}$ photons per second at $600 \ nm$. If the wavelength of the source $S_2$ is $300 \ nm$,then the number of photons per second emitted by $S_2$ is . . . . . . $\times 10^{14}$.
