Can you teach me an astronomy problem?

During a particular observation, the Chandra telescope detects photons with an average energy of 2.0keV at a rate of 5×10−3 per second.

What is the total power received, in watts?

P=??????? w
 
Well!!
1 electron volt = 1.6E-19 joules

Hence, Total Energy = 2 x E3 x 1.6 E-19 = 3.2 E-16 J

Now, if comes to power, you receive 5 E-3 eV /s = 5E-3 x 1.6 E -19
= 8 E -22 W
