Two Sources Emit Beams of Light of Wavelength 550 nm550 \mathrm {~nm}

Question 61

Multiple Choice

Two sources emit beams of light of wavelength 550 nm550 \mathrm {~nm} . The light from source A has an intensity of 10μW/m210 \mu \mathrm { W } / \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } , and the light from source BB has an intensity of 20μW/m220 \mu \mathrm { W } / \mathrm { m } ^ { 2 } . This is all we know about the two beams. Which of the following statements about these beams are correct? (There could be more than one correct choice.)


A) A photon in beam B has the same energy as a photon in beam A.
B) AA photon in beam BB has twice the energy of a photon in beam AA .
C) The frequency of the light in beam BB is twice as great as the frequency of the light in beam AA .
D) Beam B carries twice as many photons per second as beam A.
E) None of the above statements are true.
