question 7 of 25
a solar phone charger can use energy from the sun to supply electric power
to your cell phone. how does this phenomenon support the particle model of
light?
a. it is the result of interference.
b. it is the result of reflection.
c. it is the result of the photoelectric effect.
d. it is the result of diffraction.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where light (as photons, which are particles of light in the particle model) strikes a material and causes electrons to be emitted. Solar phone chargers use this effect to convert light energy (from photons) into electrical energy. Interference and diffraction are wave - related phenomena. Reflection is a property that can be explained by both wave and particle models in a limited sense, but the key for supporting the particle model here is the photoelectric effect.

Answer:

C. It is the result of the photoelectric effect.
