• 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.
