A laser peripheral iridotomy is a procedure for treating an eye condition known as narrow-angle glaucoma, in which pressure buildup in the eye can lead to loss of vision. A neodymium YAG laser (wavelength = 1064 nm) is used in the procedure to punch a tiny hole in the peripheral iris, thereby relieving the pressure buildup. In one application the laser delivers 4.1 x 10-3 J of energy to the iris in creating the hole. How many photons does the laser deliver?
