Which phenomenon demonstrates the particle nature of light as evidenced in the photoelectric effect?
Correct Answer: Photoelectric effect
- Step 1: Understand that light can behave like a particle, which is called a photon.
- Step 2: Learn about the photoelectric effect, which is when light hits a metal surface.
- Step 3: Know that when light (photons) hits the metal, it can give energy to electrons in the metal.
- Step 4: If the photons have enough energy, they can knock the electrons out of the metal.
- Step 5: This shows that light has particle-like properties because it can transfer energy to electrons.
