The human eye is a complex sensing device. The optic nerve needs a minimum of 2.10x10^-17J of energy to trigger a series of impulses that eventually reach the brain. How many photons of blue light (475nm) are needed? The human eye is a complex sensing device.

Base on the question all about the human eye were an optic nerve of it needs an energy of 2.10x10^-17J that could trigger a series of impulses that eventually reach to the brain. So the possible photons of blue light needed for for this energy is 52 photons
