Q1235

Which of the following supports particle nature of photons ?

A.
Diffraction
B.
Polarization
C.
Photoelectric effect
Answer
D.
Interference

Answer: Option C

Solution

Answer: Option C
Solution:
Light is made up of photons, so it has some particle properties. In the photoelectric effect, light hits some material which absorbs it, and then ejects incident electrons. The reason that the photoelectric effect is evidence for the particle nature of light has to do with how materials absorb that light energy and then eject it in the form of electrons.
