(a) When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency. Explain why? (b) When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. Does the reduction in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the light wave? (c) In the wave picture of light, intensity of light is determined by the square of the amplitude of the wave. What determines the intensity of light in the photon picture of light

Two monochromatic radiations of frequencies v_(1) and v_(2) ( v_(1) gt v_(2) ) and having the same intensity are, in turn, incident on a photosensitive surface to cause photoelectric emission. Explain, giving reason, in which case (i) more number of electrons will be emitted and (ii) the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons will be more.
