Step 1
1 of 2To get the number of photons emitted by a human body per second we need two variables, energy of a single photon and energy emitted in one second. First we get the latter by employing Stefan-Boltzman's law, so we can write Now, we can get the From here the energy of single photon is Finally, the number of photons is
