the photoelectric effect supports a
○ wave nature of light.
○ particle nature of light.
○ both of these.
○ none of these.

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon where electrons are emitted from a material when light shines on it. Einstein's explanation of the photoelectric effect used the concept of photons (particles of light) to explain the observations, such as the fact that the kinetic energy of emitted electrons depends on the frequency (not intensity) of light, which supports the particle nature of light. The wave nature of light is supported by phenomena like interference and diffraction. So the photoelectric effect supports the particle nature of light.

Answer:

B. particle nature of light.
