Question

Which of the following phenomena does not explain by wave nature of light.
(A) reflection
(B) diffraction
(C) photoelectric effect
(D) interference
(E) polarization
Choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below :

• A. E only
• B. C only
• C. B, D only
• D. A, C only

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

The photoelectric effect is the phenomenon in which electrons are ejected from the surface of a material when it is exposed to light. This effect cannot be explained by the wave nature of light. Instead, it provides strong evidence for the particle nature of light.
On the other hand, phenomena such as reflection, diffraction, interference, and polarization are well explained by the wave nature of light.
