Why can we not see individual photons, but rather light appear to us to be continuous Why can we not see individual photons, but rather light appears to us to be continuous? a)A light beam contains a multitude of photons, each with a very small amount of energy. b)The wave part of a photon superposes with the wave part of other photons in the beam, making the beam appear to be continuous. c)The wave part of the photon extends over a spatial region that is larger than our eyes can detect. d)The particle properties of photons do not interact with our eyes. e)Each photon carries information from the whole electromagnetic spectrum; and our eyes camiot interpret this information. Solution A light is composed of multitude of photons. And each photon carries a very small amount of energy. Hence, the correct statement is option (a). And the remaining options are wrong..
