Assertion: The number of photons emitted per second by a point source of light is directly proportional to the power of the source and inversely proportional to the energy of each photon.

Reason: The equation n=Pλ/hcn=P \lambda / h c relates the number of photons emitted per second (n)(\mathrm{n}) to the power of the source (P)(P), the wavelength of light emitted (λ)(\lambda), and fundamental physical constants ( h\mathrm{h} and c\mathrm{c} ). This equation shows that increasing the power of the source or decreasing the energy of each photon will result in an increase in the number of photons emitted per second.
