PHY 104 Photo Electric Emission Objective Question

Question

Which of the following phenomena is not listed as evidence for the particle-nature of light in the 'WAVE-PARTICLE DUALITY OF LIGHT' section?
Options
A Photoelectric effect
B Compton effect
C Light being detected as packets (photons)
D Diffraction and interference
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Page 12 lists 'Diffraction and interference' under 'Evidence for wave-nature of light', while 'Photoelectric effect' and 'Compton effect' (along with light detected as packets) are listed under 'Evidence for particle-nature of light'.

Hint

Recall which phenomena demonstrate wave-like behavior and which demonstrate particle-like behavior for light.
