MCQ
Photoelectric effect shows
  • Particle nature of light
  • B
    wave nature of light
  • C
    dual nature of light
  • D
    neither of the natures of light

Answer

Correct option: A.
Particle nature of light
a
Interference, diffraction and polarization are the basic properties of a wave, as light shows all the three effects , therefore light can be considered as a wave. But Photoelectric effect can be explained only when we consider light as made by small energy packets (particles) called photon, it means photoelectric effect shows the particle nature of light.
