The correct answer is:
2.84 x 1011
The intensity of light at the location of your eye is
The energy entering into your eye per second is
where d is the diameter of pupil
Let n be the number of photons entering into the eye per second, then
So, the number of photons entering the eye in 0.1 s = 0.1 n = 2.84 x 1011
