   Wrong. Pixels aren't one photon wide, they're not just lit or dark. They   
   will collect photons over time and that is integrated to show the   
   signal.   
      
   Sensitivity to different EM spectrum ranges is variable, depending on   
   our ability (and interest) in developing sensors. So there isn't a   
   universal equation for this part of your spreadsheet, it's very   
   dependent on technology. Sea Wasp (not sure if he watches here) might   
   have more info on this, it's his field.
