The statements that are true from the given, regarding a beam of red light and a beam of blue light having equal intensities
Answer to Problem 3Q
Solution:
There are more photons in the red beam.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
A beam of red light and a beam of blue light have equal intensities.
In general, as blue light have a higher frequency than of the red light; the individual photos of blue light have more energy than the individual photons of red light.
But in this case, a beam of blue light and a beam of red light having equal intensities possess the same energy. Therefore, the red light has more photons than blue light.
Therefore, there are more photons in the red beam.
