Quantified answers only as English seems to be so wholly unsuited to
this purpose.


I see the North Star on a clear night through detection of
photons. What does it matter how many photons I am detecting?
There's more than enough to detect. And every one contains
energy "conveyed" from Polaris and "converted" by my retina.


Clearly the understanding of the English words "How much energy" sets
the bar too high for this technical forum. That, or the experience
with the subject matter is so limited as to render the poster's
response in xeroxed cut-and-paste platitudes. An undocumented worker
could easily provide material of equal quality.
