According to the wave theory of light, the energy of radiation depends only on the intensity or wave amplitude (brightness), not the frequency (what type of light, e.g. red light or green light, visible light or gamma). According to the particle theory of light states the energy of radiation depend only on the frequency (or type) of light, not on its intensity (brightness). In the particle theory, intensity corresponds to the number of light particles. According to the wave model of light, predict which should have more energy, bright red light or bright blue light they have the same energy bright red light bright blue light
