Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The photoelectric effect and Compton scattering both illustrate the particle nature of light. The photoelectric effect demonstrates that light can eject electrons from a metal surface, suggesting that light behaves as a stream of particles (photons). Compton scattering involves the collision between a photon and an electron, showing that photons have momentum, a particle-like property.
