Wave-particle Duality
Easyphysics
Light exhibits wave and particle nature evidenced by respectively:
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Interference & photoelectric effect
- Wave Nature: Phenomena like Interference, Diffraction, and Polarization can only be explained by treating light as a continuous electromagnetic wave.
- Particle Nature: Phenomena like the Photoelectric Effect and Compton Scattering can only be explained by treating light as consisting of discrete packets of energy called photons. Wave-Particle Duality states that light behaves as either a wave or a particle depending on the experiment performed.
