Answer :The number of photons per molecule is, 1206

Solution :

First we have to calculate the energy of photons.

Formula used :

E=\frac{h\times c}{\lambda}

where,

E = energy of photon = ?

h = Planck's constant = 6.63\times 10^{-34}Js

c = speed of light = 3\times 10^8m/s

\lambda = wavelength = 250nm=250\times 10^{-9}m

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get the energy of the photons.

E=\frac{(6.63\times 10^{-34}Js)\times (3\times 10^8m/s)}{250\times 10^{-9}m}

E=7.96\times 10^{-19}J

The energy of photons  is, 7.96\times 10^{-19}J

Now we have to calculate the number of photons per molecule.

\text{Number of photons}=\frac{\text{Total energy}}{\text{Energy of photon}}

\text{Number of photons}=\frac{9.6\times 10^{-16}J}{7.96\times 10^{-19}J}=1206

Therefore, the number of photons per molecule is, 1206
