Q: What is the number density of photons per cubic meter inside the box? 1.78 x 10^(26) photons number density = ------------------------------ 3 x 10^(8) cubic meters = 5.93 x 10^(17) photons per cubic meter Q: What is the energy density of the photons inside the box? Each photon has energy 3.61 x 10^(-19) Joules, so the amount of energy inside a single cubic meter is photons energy density = 5.93 x 10^(17) ------------ * 3.61 x 10^(-19) J cubic meter = 0.2 Joules per cubic meter Close enough to the actual value of 0.85 J/m^3.
