Which one among the following shows particle nature of light?
- photo electric effect
- interference
- refraction
- polarization.
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
So, it cannot exhibit particles nature of light.
Diffraction is a phenomenon in which light bends at sharp ends of an obstacle or a hole. So it also can't exhibit particle's nature of light.
Polarisation of light is a property owing to which a light ray after emerging through a crystal (a special kind like tourmaline) have vibrations in a plane perpendicular to its direction of propagation.
So, it also can't explain particle's nature of light.
Photoelectric effect states that light travels in the form of bundles or packets of energy, called photons.
This effect is explained on the basis of quantum nature of light. So, it clearly explain the particle's nature of light.
Hence, choice (d) is correct.

Concepts Used:
Dual Nature of Radiation and Matter
The dual nature of matter and the dual nature of radiation were throughgoing concepts of physics. At the beginning of the 20th century, scientists untangled one of the best-kept secrets of nature – the wave-particle duplexity or the dual nature of matter and radiation.
Electronic Emission
The least energy that is needed to emit an electron from the surface of a metal can be supplied to the loose electrons.
Photoelectric Effect
The photoelectric effect is a phenomenon that involves electrons getting away from the surface of materials.
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle
Heisenberg’s Uncertainty Principle states that both the momentum and position of a particle cannot be determined simultaneously.
