D)the energy of an object is proportional to its mass.
E)light has particle-like properties.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The photoelectric effect provided evidence that light has particle-like properties, which led Einstein to propose the concept of photons. In this phenomenon, electrons are ejected from a metal surface when light shines on it, indicating that light behaves like particles with discrete packets of energy. The other options mentioned are related concepts, but they are not directly linked to the photoelectric effect or Einstein's proposal.
