Identify the basic features of the photon picture of electromagnetic radiation from the following:
(A) Each photon has energy \(E = h\nu\) in vacuum.
(B) Photons are electrically neutral and are not deflected by electric and magnetic fields.
(C) All photons of light of a particular frequency \(\nu\) or wavelength \(\lambda\) have the same energy and momentum.
(D) If the intensity of light of a given wavelength is increased, there is an increase in the number of photons incident on a given area in a given time.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

  1. A (A), (B) and (D) only
  2. B (A), (C) and (D) only
  3. C (A), (B), (C) and (D)
  4. D (B), (C) and (D) only
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) (A), (B), (C) and (D)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A), (B), (C) and (D) (A) Energy \(E = h\nu\). (B) Electrically neutral. (C) Same frequency/wavelength means same energy/momentum. (D) Increased intensity = more photons per unit area per unit time.
