How does a web server handle multiple incoming requests at the same time on a single port(80)?

Example : At the same time 300k users want to see an image from www.abcdef.com which is assigned IP 10.10.100.100 and port 80. So how can www.abcdef.com handle this incoming users' load?

Can one server (which is assigned with IP 10.10.100.100) handle this vast amount of incoming users? If not, then how can one IP address be assigned to more than one server to handle this load?
