The photoelectric effect represent that
- A. Light has a particle nature
- B. Electron has a wave nature
- C. Proton has a wave nature
- D. None of the above
Step-by-step solution
The photoelectric effect involves the emission of electrons from a metal surface when light of sufficiently high frequency shines on it. Einstein explained this by proposing that light consists of discrete quanta (photons), each with energy proportional to its frequency. This demonstrates the particle nature of light.
