Question

The special theory of relativity predicts that there is an upper limit to the speed of a particle. It therefore follows that there is also an upper limit on the following properties of a particle. the kinetic energy none of the other answers the total energy the linear momentum more than one of these A beam of red light and a beam of violet light each deliver the same power on a surface. For which beam is the number of photons hitting the surface per second the greatest? the violet beam the red beam The number of photons per second is the same for both beams. This cannot be answered without knowing just what the light intensity is. It depends on whether the light is behaving as particles or as waves.

Explanation / Answer

(a) Here the upper limit is not dependent on the factors like Kinetic energy, momentum and total energy, so the option B is correct none of the other answers.

(b) In this question the option B The red beam is correct because red beam has the lowest frequency and longest wavelength.
