Hi guys
I'm new to this, but i've seen alot of post relating to the power of lasers and think a good way to visualize it is heating power ie temperature increase of water in 1 second.
I know C=Q/ΔT where C =Specific heat, Q =heat and T =temperature
and dimensionless heat capacity = C / Nk where n is number of molecules and k is the Boltzmann's constant
energy of photon = hc/λ where h is planks constant, c is speed of light and λ is wavelength
What i don't understand is how the labeled power corresponds to the energy of the photons or how to use this to calculate Q heat transfer.
Thnaks for you help
