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,hv, where hh is Plancks constant and vv 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.
