Glass is transparent to visibile light under normal conditions; however, at extremely high intensities, glass will absorb most of the light incident upon it. this works through a process known as multiphoton absorption. in this process, several photons are absorbed at the same time. if very intense light whose photons carry 2ev of energy is shined onto a material with a band gap of 4ev, that light can be absorbed through two-photon absorption, because two photons have the right amount of energy to bridge the band gap. what is the minimum number of photons of 800-nm light that are needed to equal or exceed the band gap of fused silica glass?

3 photons

Explanation:

The energy of a photon E can be calculated using this formula:

Where corresponds to Plank constant (6.626070x10^-34Js), is the speed of light in the vacuum (299792458m/s) and is the wavelength of the photon(in this case 800nm).

Tranform the units

The band Gap is 4eV, divide the band gap between the energy of the photon:

Rounding to the next integrer: 3.

Three photons are the minimum to equal or exceed the band gap.

depends on what you mean by "group." for order, it would be coleoptera (beetles). for class, it would be insecta (insects). for phylum, it would be the arthropoda (animals with jointed exoskeletons).
