Problem

A beam of red light is made up of a stream of photons. The size of dots represents the photon energy, and the spacing represents the spatial distribution between photons. [Figure: Stream of photons with dots of certain size and spacing] If we use photons of half the wavelength of red light, keeping the intensity constant, what should the stream look like? a) [Option a] b) [Option b] c) [Option c] d) [Option d] e) [Option e]
