Which of the following demonstrates the wave properties of light?
A) photoelectric effect
B) Compton effect
C) diffraction
D) pair production

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Diffraction is the bending of light waves as they pass through a narrow opening or around an obstacle. This demonstrates the wave nature of light. The photoelectric effect and Compton effect demonstrate the particle nature of light, while pair production involves the creation of matter from energy in high-energy particle collisions, not the wave properties of light.
