Human vision sensitivity To see an object with the unaided eye, the light intensity coming to the eye must be about $5 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{J} / \mathrm{m}^{2} \cdot$ s or greater. Determine the minimum number of photons that must enter the eye's pupil each second in order for an object to be seen. Assume that the pupil's radius is 0.20 $\mathrm{cm}$ and the wavelength of the light is 550 $\mathrm{nm} .$
