A beam of 400 nm light is adjusted to have the same intensity as a beam of 600 nm light. How does the number of photons in the 400nm beam, N400 compare to the number of photons, N600 in the 600 nm beam.
Question 5 options:
N400 = 2*N600
N400 = 32600
N400 = N600
N400 = 23600
N400 = 2600
None of the other responses are correct.
