Physics Question on Photoelectric Effect
Quantum nature can prove :
A
Interference
B
photoelectric effect
C
diffraction
D
polarization
Answer
photoelectric effect
Explanation
Solution
According to quantum theory light travels in small bundles or packets of energy known as photons. The energy of photon in such case is hv, where h is Plancks constant and v the frequency of light. The intensity of light depends on the number of these photons. Einstein explained the phenomenon of photoelectric effect on the basic of Plancks quantum theory. Note: Interference, diffraction and polarization proved the wave nature of light.
