BIO Laser Surgery. Using a mixture of $\mathrm{CO}_{2}, \mathrm{~N}_{2},$ and sometimes He, $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ lasers emit a wavelength of $10.6 \mu \mathrm{m}$. At power outputs of $0.100 \mathrm{~kW},$ such lasers are used for surgery. How many photons per second does a $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ laser deliver to the tissue during its use in an operation?
