Two monochromatic beams $A$ and $B$ of equal intensity $I$ hit a screen. The number of photons hitting the screen by beam $A$ is twice that by beam $B$. What inference can you make about their frequencies?

  • A
    $f_A = 2f_B$
  • B
    $f_A = f_B / 2$
  • C
    $f_A = 4f_B$
  • D
    $f_A = f_B$
