  1. Intensity of radiation is determined by the number of photons incident per unit area per unit time.
  2.  
  1. Red Light.
Reason: Energy of photon of red light is less than that of a photon of blue light.

Alternate Answer

$\text{hv}_{red} < \text{hv}_{blue}$
  1. Blue Light.
Reason: Energy of photon of Blue light is more than that of a photon of red light.

Alternate Answer

$\text{hv}_{red} > \text{hv}_{blue}$

Note: [The Einstein's photoelectric equation:

$\text{hv} = \text{hv}_{\circ} + \frac{1}{2}\text{mv}^{2}_{max}$

Instead of the reason in part.]
