You are on the Starship Enterprise and the person in charged of preparing the weapons that are being used in a battle with the Klingons. You have found that your current photon torpedoes are not inflicting any damage on their space ship (i.e., there is no disruption of the ship's exterior structure). A photon torpedo has a mole of photons in it-all at the same energy. Your immediate superior suggests that all that has to be done is to put more photon's into each torpedo. By doing this, the Klingon star ship will be caused to explode, he states. Is your supervisor correct? If he is, why is he correct and if he is not, what would you do and how would you convince Captain Kirk that you are correct?
