Question
Suppose that the microwave radiation has a wavelength of 12.4 cm. How many photons are required to heat 285 mL of coffee from 25.0 ∘C∘C to 62.0 ∘C∘C? Assume that the coffee has the same density, 0.997 g mL−1, and specific heat capacity, 4.184 J g−1 K−1, as water over this temperature range.
Express the number of photons numerically.
