Jainism : Through Science
A total energy per unit area does not only depend upon frequecny of each photon but also it depends upon number of photons per unit area per unit time. Hence, if intensity increases total energy also increases.
Actually in modern physics, according to Jainism (Jain philosophy) and according to my opinion, frequency is absolutely imaginary. Only the particles of voice or light or electromagnetic waves travel in space and their path is serpentine or zig-zag. When they are at rest, there is no frequency, no energy. Only when they are in motion, they have imaginary frequency depending on their serpentine paths and energy depending on their velocity, that might be equal to Newtonian Mechanics K.E --mv2 or-mc?. Where m is the rest mass of photon. Though scientists of modern age believe that photon has zero rest mass yet in calculation of momentum p = mv, (p = mc), they consider that a photon has rest mass.
Photoelectric effect also proves that the photons are in the form of the most micro particles. And the following words of the scientists G. Heber and G. Weber say that a photon can be divided into 1 electron and 1 positron.
"We only mention the transformation of a photon into 1 electron and 1 positron, the reciprocal process, the manifold transformations among the mesons and transformations from mesons to electrons, photons and neutrons."
Solar deflection of star light is also able to prove that photons have some mass.
