When we model light (EM radiation) as a particle, we call it a photon -- a packet of energy. How does this work with the model of light as a wave? To think through this, answer the following: If the intensity of a beam of light is related to the number of photons passing per second, how would you explain the intensity of light using the model of light as a wave? What feature (wavelength, frequency, amplitude, oscillation, etc.) can be a measure of intensity and why do you think so?
