A `0.6 xx 10^(-3) W` laser is aimed at the Moon. The wavelength of emitted light is 600 nm and the laser beam spreads out of the source at a divergence angle of `theta = 0.5 xx 10^(-3) rad`. The Earth-Moon distance is nearly `4 xx 108 m`. Calculate the maximum number of photons arriving per second per square meter on the Moon? Neglect any absorption by the atmosphere.
