Question

question 16 of 25
which phenomenon supports the particle model of light?
a. constructive interference
b. diffraction
c. the photoelectric effect
d. destructive interference

Explanation:

• Constructive and destructive interference are wave - related phenomena. They occur when waves overlap and either reinforce (constructive) or cancel each other out (destructive).
• Diffraction is also a wave - related phenomenon. It is the bending of waves around obstacles or through openings.
• The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where light (in the form of photons, which are particles of light) can eject electrons from a metal surface. This supports the particle model of light.

Answer:

C. The photoelectric effect
