MCQ
When the intensity of a light source is increased:
  • A
    The number of photons emitted by the source in unit time increases.
  • B
    The total energy of the photons emitted per unit time increases.
  • C
    More energetic photons are emitted.
  • D
    Faster photons are emitted.
✓

Answer

  1. The number of photons emitted by the source in unit time increases.
  2. The total energy of the photons emitted per unit time increases.

Explanation:

When the intensity of a light source in increased, a large number of photons are emitted from the light source. Hence, option (a) is correct.

Due to increase in the number of photons, total energy of the photons emitted per unit time also increases. Hence, option (b) is also correct.

Increase in the intensity of light increases only the number of photons, not the energy of photons, Hence, option (c) is incorrect.

The speed of photons is not affected by the intensity of light, Hence, option (d) is incorrect.
