Assume that the emission of photon from a source of radiation is random in direction. Would you expect the intensity (or energy density) to vary inversely as the square of the distance from the source in the photon theory as it does in the wave theory?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

a single photon or a wave front ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

both...., the relationship of these two theories

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

well each photon dosent change energy, but as a buch, they spread out and become less dense
