Question

a beam of light exhibits diffraction when it passes through a small opening. which model of the nature of light does this example support? a. the diffraction model b. the particle model c. the interference model d. the wave model

Explanation:

Diffraction is a characteristic behavior of waves. When a wave encounters an obstacle or an opening, it bends around the edges. Light exhibiting diffraction when passing through a small - opening supports the wave model of light. The particle model of light does not explain diffraction. Interference is related to the superposition of waves but is not the model that directly explains diffraction here. And "the diffraction model" is not a standard model of the nature of light.

Answer:

D. The wave model
