$A$ transmitter of $100 \ W$ power emits electromagnetic waves of wavelength $540 \ nm$. How many photons are emitted per second? (Given: $h = 6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$,$c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$)

$A$ sensor is exposed for time $t$ to a lamp of power $P$ placed at a distance $l$. The sensor has a circular opening that is $4d$ in diameter. Assuming all energy of the lamp is given off as light,the number of photons entering the sensor if the wavelength of light is $\lambda$ is (given $l >> d$):
