Part a) is correct, but the book gives me an answer of [itex]2.3*10^{23}[/itex] for part b. Is the book wrong or have I missed a factor of 1000 somewhere?

What did you conclude regarding question [c]?
The number of photons per second is typically measured using a device called a photometer, which detects and counts individual photons. This measurement is known as the photon flux.
The number of photons per second can be affected by several factors, including the intensity of the light source, the wavelength of the light, and the distance between the source and the detector.
Yes, the number of photons per second can be converted to energy by multiplying it by the energy of each photon. This is known as the photon energy flux.
The number of photons per second is directly related to the brightness of a light source. A higher number of photons per second indicates a brighter source, while a lower number indicates a dimmer source.
The concept of number of photons per second is used in various fields such as astronomy, photography, and telecommunications. It is also important in understanding the behavior of light in different environments, such as in quantum mechanics and optics.
