    First, we determine the energy required to melt one gram of ice. This is given by:

    Energy = mass * latent heat of fusion

    Energy = 1 g * 334 J/g

    Energy = 334 J

    Next, we use Planck's equation which is:

    Energy = number of photons * Planck's constant * speed of light / wavelength

    334 = n * 6.64 x 10⁻³⁴ * 3 x 10⁸ / 5.49 x 10⁻⁶

    n = 9.20 x 10²¹

    9.20 x 10²¹ photons need to be absorbed by the ice.
