Since radiation interacts with matter in individual particle- like impacts called photons, why does light seem continuous to us?
A) Because there are so few photons in a light beam and because they each carry such a large amount of energy.
B) Because there are so many photons in a light beam and each carries such a small amount of energy.
C) Each photon is spread out over a large region of space and these regions overlap each other.
D) Each photon has a very wide range of energies, and these energy ranges overlap each other.
E) Because of the way that the photons interact with each other.
